Alright someone please be the angel sent from heaven and help me out with my light schedule lol. Anyone else have these lights? I have the 32" photon v2 over a 40B tank. The light is currently sitting about 11 inches off the water and I have my blues running at 65 and my white at 15 7 hours of intense light 2 hour ramp up . And this is after many adjustments I blasted my corals with way to much light at first but I think it might be still too high. It's a mixed reef tank too so I have some sps at the top that are doing really well right now, my lps and soft coral not so much. That's why I'm leaning towards too much light. I know I should really rent a par meter but my lfs doesn't have any and bulk reef is always sold out it seems. Just need some general guidelines too ut

You could start by shortening the intense time by lengthening the ramp up and down times. See if that helps.

I have the photons over my RS reefer 350. I rented a PAR meter from BRS. They are hung 10 inches above the tank. Running 80/20 I’m getting between 320-350 ten inches from bottom. Running 40/20 getting approx 180. Full disclosure , have not put corals in yet , they are currently in the frag tank for observation. Happy reefing!
