ReefBreeder Schedule

[ggNoRe]

Does anyone successfully keep SPS with Reefbreeder V2 LEDs + T5 hybrid? If so, can you please share your lighting schedule with me?

My system has been up and running for a little over a year now and I'm still unable to successfully keep SPS. They always seem ok for a month or 2 than start to STN. I have had several ICP test which all show my parameters to be in acceptable ranges. So I'm now curious if lighting may be an issue. Thanks for the help!

I am no expert by any means but I love my reefbreeders photon 50 pro. I actually have one one each tank. They will both be going on our new 300 as we are combining both tanks into one. Full mixed reef bare bottom with a sand lake at one end for the pistol shrimp and goby pair and the wrasse.
This is the best I could do for pictures. Most of these frags are from around Christmas and new years. All have been growing out seemingly pretty fast to me. The birds nest and stylo were both almost completely dead only a couple specs of color on each but they have came alive under this light. Not saying that's the only reason but I really think they like it.
Hopefully this helps.
I will see how I can share my schedule with you but I don't run a t5, I'm going to add the Lumenbar v2 high octane to the lights when I switch tanks.

Anyone else using T5 + ReefBreeder Photon V2+?

I run reefbreeder but no t5 over my frag tank. I copied the battle corals lighting profile.

Thanks! I feel like that schedule would nuke my tank lol. Don't really think I can compare with others who don't have hybrid/T5 setup.

Yeah definitely possible these lights throw some serious light. Hope someone comes along with something for you!

Yeah you really need to be able to hang them 24” off the water to be able to run that kind of schedule. I use two on my 150 gallon and I cannot even mimic that profile at 50% with them 16” off the water without driving par into excessive numbers for what I’ve got. The BRS sps profile at 50% strength (5,5,50,25,50,50) for the channels respectively gets me about 350 par on the top rocks throughout and 150 on the sandbed

Thank you for the input. I hang mine about 13" above. My system has been running for a little of a year now and I'm just realizing I most likely lost several corals from too much par...

I was running around 10-5-80-30-80-80 for the longest with t5s running for 6 hours.
