Torch lighting

[bkayereefs]

Hey all, merry Christmas!! I decided to treat myself to a couple of frags today after losing some a few months back. I picked up this torch, (absolute steal) it was just dipped and put into tank about 15 mins ago. Does this look to close to my light? I run my blues at about 80%. Thanks in advance.

Hard to judge without PAR, but it’s directly under the light, mine are farther away about 100-120 PAR, and not taking a direct hit from the light source.

These are 30” from light source on the bottom.

I can tell you. You can kill a torch in a day with too much light. It'll take weeks to months with to little light. My opinion. Put it in low light and flow for a week before moving it up.

In had a blasto frag I left in my unlit sump for months and it ended up making it.

I also have run a few low par tanks 30-50. You'd be surprised what grows in it. I have a green acro that grew in 40 par. Brown as a turd but the tips were green
