I would say you can bump that up but do it slowly. This is my setting on my breeder and everything is doing great. It’s called the Pirates of the Caribbean program. Par averages at about 170 upper portion of tank between my lights which are 3 AI Primes. Directly underneath towards the top it shoots up to mid 200 par

I agree with the statement above, I think you can increase the intensity a little bit.
I have one 26hd about 6 inches above the water on my 25 gallon. I never checked the PAR levels though. Here’s what it looks like:

This is essentially the AB+ schedule at a lower intensity.



I unintentionally created a cloud affect by enabling the weather feature, with several blocks of different intensities and probabilities.
