Light Intensity and height

[enzo]

I'm running 1 Kessil a360w (older version) and 6 54 watt ATI over a 30 gallon breeder.
The Kessil runs from 9:30am to 7:30pm intensity runs from 10% ramps up to 65% and back down again, and height is set at 10" above water level.
The Ati runs from 10am to 7pm, i dont have control of adjusting the intesity, but i control 2 lights on from 10am to4pm and the other 4 light come on at 12pm to 7pm. They are set up at 20" high of the water level.

My question is does it sound ok or do I change anything, does it sound like it needs to be tweaked. Like height go higher or lower, lights on longer or shorter. Thanks for your help

id recommend renting or buying a par meter to see if it is at where you want. if you don't want to do that you can simply see how your corals react to different lighting changes.

Lights are off for now but this is what it looks like.

Good idea,i keep forgetting about those, thanks

it seems a proper amount of light for that tank but I may turn down that kessil a little as the ati should be sufficient for the whole tank.

Yeah really without a par meter, you may as well be taste testing everything. I went a long time without using one, regretfully.
