does my par look ok?

[nlutfi]

I have a nuvo 40 with a hydra 26 running the brs AB+ schedule. The light is about 9.5" from the water. I just rented a par meter from my lfs for the night and got some measurements. Just wanted to check to see if my numbers look ok or if there is anything I should change. I have mostly lps and polyps but have a few easy sps and would like to add maybe a acro or 2 down the road, but by no means a full sps tank. Let me know what you guys think!

Here is what my schedule looks like.

Looks good for what you have but if you plan on going heavier with sps I would add another 26 and raise your lights to 12”

Thanks, I don't plan to go heavy on the sps maybe 1 or 2 more. Was also thinking I'll possibly add t5s down the road or possibly another hydra 26 as you said.

Was also thinking on building up the rock on the right side a little more to get closer to the light and have a little more room.

Pick some low-light acropora and you will be OK. For most acropora, that is not enough light, but if you choose well, then no problem with the PAR.

I added some rock to raise up the birds nest and Monty I have a little bit. Had to to do a little bit of rescaping but I think it turned out ok. Also added a few new frags! Can anyone tell me the name of the frag in the 3rd pick, they told me at the lfs but I forgot.
