Fluval reef led light lps corals

[MarineCorp]

Hi all,

Setting up my lighting ready for lps corals. Can anyone give me advice on my schedule and light settings. This is what I have done with the research I have read. Any opinions?

What model light is this and what are the dimensions of your tank?

600mm x 450mm x 450mm high

32 watts is a little on the low side for reef lighting, but on a tank that size you should be able to get good results with most LPS corals. Try your current program out for a week or so and keep an eye on your corals. If they start to brown or dull in color, they may have too little light and you'll need to increase the intensity on the other channels of the light.

Schedule-wise your okay, spectrum and par are going to be your problem areas if you have any issues.

Awesome thank you for the information. I will reevaluate after a week

Wife is trying to talk me into LEDs for lower power consumption, saw the Fluval bar at our LFS, what did you think?

Any update on how your lighting settings and schedule worked out? I have the 59w version on my 55g and plan on adding some softies soon and eventually LPS
