Been having problems with my coral compulsion 24w par38 for a little while. It's the 20k model with 90 optics and I cant dial in a proper height for the life of me on a 11 inch tall tank. I've had it everywhere from 4-12 inches even 3 inches without optics and can't keep coral color or zoas from stretching and out right dying. Any insight would be appreciated as I don't have access to a par meter only a lux meter on a galaxy s7.
 
what kind of lux are you getting at the best spread. And oy, the apps aren great.
 
12in from bulb at sand level 15,000 lux
15in. 13,000 lux and 18in. 9300 lux
