Noopsyche Mini on Fluval Evo 13.5?

[JoJosReef]

Anyone try out this light pn a Fluval Evo 13.5? Would it go e complete coverage or would the peninsula style mean there would be darker spots on the sides?

I've seen a lot of posts of this light on the IM cubes, and looks promising, but curious how it will do on a peninsula.

My current lights are budget bars with pretty good LED chips:

PAR readings 21LED ReefBarPros 2x "Blue Heavy" budget light over Fluval Evo 13.5g

Hi all, I am sharing my PAR readings on an Apogee par meter lent to me by a local reefer. Specs below: Tank: Fluval Evo 13.5g Lights: 2x ReefBarPro "Blue Heavy" 20" bars that are actually 18" (from 21LEDusa) Positioning of the bars: Here are pictures of the tank without PAR...

But, I am noticing that my corals generally do well, but only seen growth on my blastos and alveopora, not on my acans, torch, scoly, zoas, or mushrooms. Maybe time for a light upgrade?

Maybe - but your PAR levels really aren't high enough for most SPS (needing somewhere in the 200-300 range, typically around 250-275 PAR).

No plans for SPS in this tank. Potato chip pavone or *maybe* a stylo or digi on the top rock one day.

I got the light so we'll see how it works one day when it arrives!

I own the K7 mini, and I like it. I have it on my 45g tank(48in x 18in x 12in tall). I have some sps in there and they seemed to be doing ok so far.

I have it on my 13.5. Coverage seems great even though it’s a peninsula. In running it around 25%.

Bit of an old thread, but as an update, I'm running 3 over my IM 40L (40 breeder AIO). SPS is growing well. Nems doing well. 350 PAR at the top of the rocks. 200+ on sand bed at peaks depending on placement.
