Ok cool. And like a few pct every 2-3 days got it. I appreciate it.
The purple channel I could crank all the way up immediately? or slowly too?
Just make sure you watch the softies and lps, they will start to retract if the light is to strong, or is being increased to quickly.
So others don't blast me, lol, I would go up to 30 percent now, and increase 30 percent every couple of days. It will increase par output, but not on the scale of white light. Again, just make sure you are watching your softies and lps as they are teh indicator on whether or not you are going to fast.
Sounds good! Thnxs. And to beat a dead horse and get specifics. Where should I top the whites off? 20 pct too or a lil lower, I was told by the big coral shop around here whites being too high is what will “cook my corals”
White channels are where you need to be careful as they produce a ton of par. I agree that whites can cook corals. This is kinda where I come back to recommending a par meter, whether you borrow it or rent it. With LED's, I will always recommend using a par meter as the human eye is a very very poor judgement of par, and this is where most reefers get into trouble with leds. 20 percent may be low for white light, but not using a par meter you will just have to watch your corals. I will say after 10 to 15 percent raise of white light over a few weeks or so, I would step back and let your corals adjust for a week or two and see how they are reacting.
Might not be a bad idea to pick up a par meter. I have a hook up on tools. And again many thanks!!
So my light is rather inferior?
My tank is 22 inches top to bottom
Really even though the other guy was saying don’t exceed 20 pct on some of them?
I trust y’all on here. So I’ll start slowly ramping things up a lil every other day
Par meter.
