Hey there. If followed R2R threads a lot but just joined and this is my first ever post. I have a 29gal. Breeder tank and have the ocean revive t247 light. I can't seem to find the sweet spot for this light and it's bothering me! I feel like it's not up high enough. Just wanted some input on what people with a tank close to size as mine have their set at. If got softies and LPS corals. Thanks!!

Hi and Welcome,
I have 7 on our 300 which is 24" deep, the lights are 12" above the water, 1 light should cover your 29
just fine, after a year I have my blues at 100 % & whites @ 78 on all SPS, I have 2 glass braces on the top of the tank
and those 2 light's I run @ 82 on the whites, it was all about the color and this gives me the same color as my Radiums
did when I ran M.H. lighting.
IMO, I would start @ 12 OR 15" run the blues @ 65 & whites @ 45 to start and change ever 3 weeks up to where you like it
and your corals can handle.
Good Luck
Tom

Just keep an eye on the corals they will tell you, zoas if they have necks I say not enough light, mine
are flat as pancakes on the bottom at 36" depth.

I love the ocean revive light. I have all softies and lps. I haven't been able to get my blues above 20 or my whites above 8. All my corals look great but as soon as I creep it up a little more, I can see the corals close up a bit. My light is 13" above the waterline. 50 gallon cube. I have been trying to raise it by one number every week or so.
