Par and Par

Hi all, Just having a difficult time finding a sweet spot with par level.

I built my own DIY reef lef lights, It has 5 channels of 3w led which in total is 160w led light fixture for a 30 gallon tank, I know it’s a bit over kill.

The par I’m getting right now are from the top 260, mid 200 and sand bed 100’s. I have 3 out of the 5 channels at 60% the whites 20%.

This ok? i feel like its too much?

Do you have blue light? For blue light that's good but idk about diy lights

What type of coral are you keeping? Those par levels seem great for a mixed reef or primarily sps tank.

It’s a mix tank at the moment. it’s half sps n lps but the lps seem to dislike it lol.

Its fairly high for LPS and turning it down by 10% wouldn't impact your sps. I think my two AI Primes put out about 200 at the top and 100 around the bottom.
