Par Recommendation for specific species or coral

[Enzodog]

Would it be possible to have a chart also?

I would like one as well if possible. Thank you very much.

I tried to send you a PM but it didn't work. If you can initiate a PM, please drop a line to me.

I sent you a PM.

I know this is an old post, but if you still have the document with working links I’d love to see it

Hmmm...anyone on the #reefsquad got some specific numbers? IME all of those do fine in >200 PAR. Most of them are fine with 100-80ish. If I had to give a target Par on them, I'd probably say 100-150, but they're pretty forgiving.

It's also worth noting that many of those do fine in higher PAR levels too. For example, many zoas, digis, and euphyllia can do well in higher light or lower light...they aren't necessarily picky.

I recently found out when I bought my par meter my torches , hammers are setting in 80ish par and have been for years. I choose LPs mode when my noopsyches k7 pro 11 lost there schedule and I was very sick and headed to hospital. I left on that for years thinking the setting was higher then it was.

The high point is 3 whites 60 blues 2 uv 0 red/green combo and runs that 7 hours. But a crazy long ramp down of 5 hours at 0 50 50 3 0 and shuts off pretty whiteish. Makes no sense! since it says 0 whites!

I Dont even trust they sent the right schedule and my dang par meter just broke lol I wish I had got par reading of that long ramp down! I just recently found out the setting of lps as well after asking for years! I am scared to up it but afraid of leaving it the same lol.

My last batch didint do so well except for lower light corals. I have some really expensive holy grails coming in that I wish I could stall. The schedule is also 14 hours long.

Do you think that being its a longer schedule at lower par is about the same as a 12 hour at higher par with 2 hour ramp up and down?

I used to run 12 wh 72 blues and uv and 0 red/green combo and corals did fine. I did have some losses after I change it but I was so sick and not tending to tanks so could be a multitude of reasons!

I can't give specific par numbers for each, but here is a helpful (hopefully helpful) chart you can refer to. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am not the author of this document. I wish I remembered where I got it to offer the proper credit.

This is an awesome table! To bad I cant make sense of it! page 1 list first coral as SPS and says low light! what the heck can anyone explain this to me. I recently found out my corals are in lower par then I though. Like my euphyllias are all sitting in about 80 par! Problem is I set my aquatic life edge to great barrier reef, I choose a region because I cant even program it So dang hard but tech support says they can make me a program to download. But I am to worried t change it because it runs 16 hours! BUT very long ramp down that I do enjoy seeing my corals in blues during the ramp down and worried about now switching to a 12 hour schedule since its been running this for years!

having same problem with another tank that I choose lps mode. definitely seeing less growth since I switched. I got sick and lost program just never changed it back andnow its been years. I have a bunch of corals coming and afraid they wont like this schedule! What the heck should i do?
