So i know they like low light but I don’t want to go crazy low, i only have the one reef photon and for reference on the top there is a torch and on the sand there is a trachyphillia, im thinking of going in the front left corner but there cant be more than 50 par there, could that be too low? Btw this pic was taken in the evening the acclimation box is now gone but it is just behind there i was thinking if putting it. I had a favia fhat grew well before dying when i had a calcium crash. What do you guys think? This will be my first sps as well as a purple pavona i am getting which i am planning on putting on that central collumn near the top

According to Tidal Gardens they have seen most success around 75-125 part but have seen the corals do well in as low as 40 PAR
 
Ok so i might try it a little higher and keep an eye on it, what would the early signs of stress be, as i am used to lps that close up very clearly when upset
