I only have 2 clownfish in there at the moment. Thanks.

The manufacture claims a 300-390 PAR 3” from the surface depending on length. The light is very controllable, has a good spectrum, but if it’s pushing in the 300 Par range, maybe run 50%-70% of max output. The more the intensity, the more you’ll get algae growth, especially the reds, so more, is not necessarily better in your current set up.
