65gallon with Reef Breeders Photon V2....

[nick654377]

Does anyone have a 65 gallon with the Photon V2? if you do, would you mind sharing your lighting schedule? No one around me rents a PAR meter and I simply cannot justify spending the money on one.

Currently running at 25% max for 4 hours with a ramp up and down all blues, and a 3% red and green at 12 inches above water line. Some corals are happy as all and others look kinda sad.

For perspective, I run RB Pv2+ over my 25 lagoon and max 3,5,6 at 70% for about 8 hours a day. I max 4 at 50% and max 1,2 at 25%. My tank has a 1/8” mesh lid and is mostly sps heavy but is a mixed reef. All species of coral seem to like this level of light.

I have a Photon 24 V-2+. I use all the channels but red and green the least. During peak times I run all channels but both blues and white at around 45-50% for 3 hours. Mine is a mixed reef.
