30.2 WB + AI Hydra 32 HD > which setup?

[Joreef92]

Hi There,

I m currently running the AB+ setup , and the lamp is 21,5 cm (84,64 inches) above the water.

For now I have few Soft but planning to add LPS, maybe SPS and an anemone.

Is my setup correct or should I change it ?

Thanks for your advices

Just make sure your par is the right range. Should be good!
how wide is the DT?

BRS did a great video on this topic I believe.

Thanks for the video !
So i understand for the 14 inch distance between the lamp and the water but i dont understand for the spectrum :
at 9.51 in the video they give their BRS recommnded % : 110, 110, 120, 120, 10, 10, 0, 60
at 12.04 in the video for their 60 gallons they downgrade the % : 88, 88, 96, 96, 8, 8, 0, 48

I don't really understand what spectrum i should use as a result (My english is probably the problem )

spectrum is what color they determine to look good to them. The downgrade is to bring the lights to the PAR values they are targeting for either a softy and LPS tank or a SPS tank.

Softy and LPS is 75 - 150 par in the tank. SPS is 250-350 par in the tank.
