Do I have enough light for Acros?
Hi Reefers,
In the last 3 months I've lost a lot of SPS due you to multiple factors. I was running ULNS. It seems like every time Alk would climb up above 9-9.5 dKH I get STN. Also for over 2 months my Radions were set to 35% total intensity: I changed lenses to TIR and was afraid to bleach my corals. I think not having enough light was another factor causing stress to my corals. I think my chemistry now is stable. I am ready to get a few new frags. I want to make sure I have enough light for growth and color. My tank is 30" tall. 60"x24"x30". I have 4 Radions with TIR lenses haning 8" above the water. Any inputs will be appreciated. Thank you.

When running ulns, alk should be around 7-7.5 at all times and on the deep of a tank you need more than 35% for sure.
