t5 lights

[gasperagnes]

hello,

I am new to the hobby. I purchased coral and i dont think i have the right lighting. I have (4) kessil A 360x installed. I dont think i am getting the right PAR. At the bottom of the tank i am averaging 80- 100 par with the lets set to 100% intensity. My corals are- (2) trachys, (1) lobo, (4) zoas, (1) play zoa, (1) mushroom, (3) hammers, (1) torch , (1) candy cane. Not seeing any growth. Everything is blah.... Should i consdier getting a T5 hyrbid to help? any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How are your other parameters? Your tank may be low in nutrients since you don’t seem to have any PAR demanding corals. The kessils should be sufficient for the ones you have. If you wanted to upgrade to get into SPS of other high PAR corals you could upgrade to a T5 system, but I would first plan out your future coral plans before taking that additional step. Just my 2-cents…
