placement for WD and OP

[nstd]

I have two Kessil Tuna Blues

Should place them high up or down low? Also high up is where there is the most flow (by Gyre).

Thanks

I've seen best coloring under 600 par, however this is just personal experience. A lot of people swear by 450 par.

You want to know the best placement for those two? The answer would be sitting in my tank

Since I doubt you will agree with my perfect answer, as high up as you can get them. They like allot of PAR to bring out all those fantastic colors.

do you guys believe in acclimating? I currently have it at the bottom and I'm planning on moving it up a bit every couple days.

Yeah, don't fry it with your leds

I meant under 600 par as in directly under 600 par, not a number under 600.

Don't want to derail the thread but what about 8 bulb t5?

Are you asking what's the PAR for 8 t5?

 

[DereksReef77]

Yes sir

 

[Va_Reef]

Depends on fixture brand, bulb brand, height off water, splash shield, etc. Id see if anyone local to you has a par meter.

Ati old powermodule.
2coral+
1 purple+
3 blue+
2 actinic
48" 100% intensity
Maybe 12-14" off the tank
WD maybe 5 inches under water
Outer end of fixture was getting probably around 250 par but I have been replacing bulbs slowly. Have checked par again yet. Got the frag Saturday morning so it's been in my tank couple of days. Came from led powered tank. Thats him 3rd frag from left top row.

I got a frag of WD, and also got new Radion Gen4 Pros to go with my t5's and had to move my WD frag to the back bottom as the light intensity was too much too soon.

How can you tell if its too much too soon? Polyp extension? Paleness? A
