Red Sea 90 LEDs

[Nikoliter]

I have a red sea 250 with 2 red sea 90 leds. I have been struggling to get my PAR up without roasting my zoa's and mushrooms. I just lost a jaw breaker mushroom. Below my Par readings. I get 130 par on the bottom in the center and it drops to 90 as I get out to edges on the sand. I have a walt disney acro currently at 160 par which you can see in the left, and I'm trying to get it to a 200 par reading but my zoa's are just shriveling up and dying as I slowly try to bring my par level up. I'm going to try to put in a small elevated stop with additional rock in the center of the tank, but doesn't anyone have experience with the red sea 90 leds and issue with zoa's and paly's? If I dial back the red sea lights they open up and grow but anything about 70% and the zoa's start melting.

You need to find Dana Riddle! My suggestion would be slow acclimation up to the higher PAR. I had a reefled and wasn't happy with the lighting in general. It was "fine", but didn't seem to appease SPS and some high demanding corals. Switched to a XR15. Good luck!

I have been thinking about switching them out to the Neptune Sky LED.
