Tuning ReefLED On IM30L

[dsouth1103]

I just set up a Innovative Marine 30 long with two ReefLED 50s. With the mounting brackets they come with there is no height adjustability, leaving blue/white intensity as my form of PAR control. These mounting brackets leave the lights 6” from the water and ~16.5” from the sand bed. The tank is three feet long so I have the two lights set just a hair outside the one and two foot mark across the back (to be as evenly spaced as possible). I’ll add a picture of my current settings but I don’t have a par meter so i’m not sure what these settings are yielding me. The goal for this tank is to be LPS dominant with some SPS towards the top of the rock. Coral coloration is the priority so maybe you guys can give input on what blue/white mixture I should use as well. Thanks!

I can’t help with the specific question but I can bump the thread to see if we can get you some attention

Thank you for the help! I borrowed a PAR meter and did some tuning and this is what I came up with. 50% blue and 5% white (I love the blue look with corals), yielded this

Interesting…. Watching threads to see how it goes for you, wondering if I am doing it wrong?
