Thanks I have mine at about 8-9 inches off the water and had them set to 65/20. Everything grew well except my frogspawn which had (I thought bleached) bear in mind torch and hammers were fine, so worked my lighting down to 30/10 (stupidly) and colours in the frogspawn were on a couple tips going green again. I left it this way for a couple months then my montipora digis have faded slowly over this time and the frogspawn didn't change. As that was the only change I made, I'm working it back up to where they were and possibly upto 70/25. I'm currenly at 58/18 I'll see how it goes.

They are great lights I just wish they were set and forget, as with most led lighting people like to tinker just to make that 1 coral pop that little bit brighter. You live and learn.

Good coloration and all? The reason I ask is that I have a similar light and I am currently running it full blast. And I love the results I am getting. Just seems crazy that you are at an opposite end of intensity and acros are good as well.

Where can you find this light and cost of it
 
I am battling a cold but I am supposed to go tomorrow and help fill the new coral system we built. The new cube like the one we were using came in so
we will be back on a somewhat regular testing schedule soon. I want to get numbers from the little globe light and the Pixie 150.

The new tank is in and ready to go except for me as I have my mom in the hospital. Testing should commence on more lights soon after my personal life gets out of the way.
Thanks for your patience,
Matt
