BRS rents a par meeter for a week. Perhaps, you could split the cost with a local reefer or two.

They had it listed a couple months back. They might have stopped more recently. I’ll have to check, thanks for bringing it to my attention.I don’t believe they do this any more
That is 40w LED light on 50gal, I believe you can run it at 100% on your tank and have the coral close to it.My mistake, its a Kessil A160WE not a 260. That was an error on my part.
No, I'm only using one.That is 40w LED light on 50gal, I believe you can run it at 100% on your tank and have the coral close to it.
That light is intended for 1/2 size your tank:
Do you use more than one.

They certainly do! You need to purchase it, then you can return it used for $100 restocking fee.
I would turn your light to 100% (increase intensity over a week) and make sure the coral is close to it and see if things improve.No, I'm only using one.
they raised the price like 4+ years ago. If they have one available, you can get the open box version for an $80 rental price.Ok so they went from a 60$ rental to a “buy for $530 and return for a 100$ restocking fee”
Anyone willing to do this PM me. I’ll rent mine out. Apogee sq420x. $200 deposit. Renter pays sh both ways. $150 refund upon return of unit in same condition.
I have two clownfish, a christmas wrasse, a colt coral and a hammer coral.You did not mention what fish are in the tank. Any chance they eat the coral? Have you tried any soft corals? Your parameters should be OK for at least some corals to survive. PAR readings could help determine if you have too much light. Some LPS do quite well in lower light conditions.
I would back off a bit and dose enough to keep alkalinity around 9 dKH.
My tank is a 24x24I would run the light at 100% intensity. Also a single one of those covers 18x18 - 24x24 at best.
Oh I thought it was a 50 gallon. Anyways, I think that light can be run at 100% but a par meter will let you know for sure.My tank is a 24x24
I had to look it up it is 50gal external dimensions…Oh I thought it was a 50 gallon. Anyways, I think that light can be run at 100% but a par meter will let you know for sure.

Sneaky…
I am sure the light can be used at 100% on this tank, it is rated 24”x24” for lightly stocked soft corals.
I would start from 80% and work up. I don’t think it can reach 20” down.
Just my opinion.
I am planning to set up 10 gal and this is the light I will use.
