Lighting question...t5 and Led

[Justin....#JAMAS]

So i recently took my two-bulb coralife t5 light down, which may be a freshwater t5 light?, bc i broke down my 4 bulb HO wavepoint light and put up only two of the four reflectors on each side of my kessil ap700. My kessil and the diy project was exactly 16" above the water line. ...i was starting to acclimate to the HO bulbs this week and have been noticing the RBT i have have started to move down and their color just doesnt look right! also, i noticed a new baby head of my magician palys is half red and half white!! So i took down the two HO ati bulbs bc its obviously too much light! Well, my question is will this Kessil ap700 be enough light for all my corals? They all used to be on t5s and i ve had this kessil running for about a month and a half just wanted to see i guess other peoples tanks that just have an ap700 and if thats enough for RBT and soft corals, and i have a stylo, digitata and a plesiastrea that i just want to make sure gets enoughlighting to grow! Thanks in advance

What are the dimensions of the tank you have the light over? Is it one ap700 or two

I have a 75 gallon that is 48"x 18"x 21" ......the kessil ap700 covers the whole tank and all the corals and some have grown and spread with the kessil and the two bulb t5....im just wondering if the HO light was too much light....starting to think maybe it was.....what is your lighting on your tank?

my lighting schedule with the ap700 tops out at 65% on and when midday at 65% for a few hours its on the color right before the deep blue setting!

If you're running just the ap700 and its 14 to 16 over the water, you can ramp it up to around 80 to 90% intensity, potentially 100%. This is a par map from brs at a mounting height of 16.5" at 100% intensity 12 inches under the water. So if yours is 14 inches your numbers will be slightly more than this.

Awesome man!!! Thanks! didnt know they had this sheet!! Helps a bunch! And my ap700 wont go above 70% when i set my own program! There is one automated program that i cant change that came with the program that tops out at 80% but manually i cant raise it above 70%!! Is this normal or should i be able to?

It's something to do with your settings. Try clearing out your schedule and starting over. Also make sure the unit isnt hot. I believe it throttles itself if its sensing it's getting to hot
