Lighting help

[mike25lagoon]

I just put on a reefbreeder photon v2+ for my 25 lagoon and was wondering if I would have any problems with it angled back to the rock? Just trying to keep the par lower on sand bed

Depends on a lot of things, including how much might be reflecting.
Generally speaking, it should reduce the lighting wherever it's angled away from. The only way to know for sure is to use a PAR meter.

Yeah I’m using a par meter. I’m getting around 130-150 on the sand bed and around 250-300 on the rocks

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with 130-150 on the sandbed? That sounds typical and correct for most LPS and softies

Are you trying to eliminate shading on the front of the rocks and coral?

No I was consecrated about coral growth with the light hitting them at an angle. Not necessarily par levels.
