Par levels to aim for in a mostly lps/softy tank

[Iamjoefox]

I recently added a 48" aquatic life hybrid to my existing 2 hyrda 26 hds. I rented a par meter from brs to get an idea of the par i was getting into the tank. I'll post some pictures to show what I have mapped out. I tried two different hanging heights, 12" where I currently have them and have good spread and 8" to see how much more par i could get.
The lower number is running just the hydras, higher with t5s and hydras

So my question is do i have enough par at the 12" height or should I start slowly lowering it to 8"?
What levels should I aiming for in the middle of the tank for euphyllia and say acans?
I already am losing a hammer because I think I added too much light too fast and am only running the t5s for 2 hours a day right now.

Euphyllia and Acans tend to like moderate lighting (150-200 par but can handle more) softies prefer anything ~100. I'd personally go with the 12" mounting height.

I concur 12” height is perfect

Thanks for the replys. I am also part of a hydra facebook group, they seemed to think the 12" PAR was too low and is why I lowered it to 8" just to get some readings. No offence to the facebook people, but I respect the opinions here a bit more.
