Hey all, posted about this the other day but wanted to follow up. I’m hanging a Viparspectra v165 over my 30 gal. It’s currently sitting exact 12” above the tank. Wanted some input on the specific settings of the light—what % should be blue, white, and how long each should run for. I know it’s...

So I have a tank with high end lighting on it that all of my coral are in and everyone is doing great. I just got a 29 gallon LED tank kit for an unbelievable price and was going to do this as a fish only tank because I know tank kits usually don't come with strong enough lights to do anything...

Hello, I recently got an XR15 pro gen6 and I’m working on a template. Right now, I’m using the phx14+ spectrum, but I’m having a bit of trouble deciding between two options. Should I have a peak intensity photoperiod of 2 hours or should I have a sinusoidal period with a peak intensity that...

The tank is a Red Sea Max Nano XL with a layout of 19x 19 x 19 inch cube. I already have a point source LED light (Red Sea 50w LED) but it’s not powerful enough and doesn’t have the spread/coverage I need to grow Acro/SPS colonies. Many of the popular lights discussed are gauged towards...

Morning, all! I'm helping an elderly relative replace her lighting on her 150gal softie reef. 2 out of the three T247s are going bad, so she's springing on the 66" Blade. The T247s were running 100% Blue from 9am-7pm, whites 20% 10am-5pm. What kind of settings should I be going for to not...

Is there a way for me to add light to my tank so it lights up from below? Meaning something sitting on the bottom of the tank inside as opposed to outside? The corals are always stretching upwards reaching for the lights from above. I think they could also benefit from having lights shining...

I’m curious how many hours a day too run my lights. I’m going with 12 hours per day now but I wanted too do a poll because I see so many different opinions. I automatically thought 14-15 hours a day would be good because in the summer where I live the sun comes up at 6 am and doesn’t get dark...
