this is a schedule for a much bigger tank that i got off the internet. my tank is 18g, 13g display. I was wondering what i should bring the levels down to and if i need to shorten it, by how much?
The only real way to tell is with a par meter. That being said, I have a standard 10g tank with a AI 16HD on it running the David Saxby program and a par meter. The tank is 12” tall with the solid mount at 8” and I run my lights at a max of 60%, it gives me a par level of about 125 - 150ish on the sand bed. The tank is a mix of LPS and Zoas.
