Kessil a360w eseries PAR strength HELP?

PoweredbyRice · 02/07/2015, 11:22 PM

another noob help.

i have a 50 gal tank. 24x24x20. i have the kessil up 12 inches high from the water - settings are 40% intensity and color and it still bleaching my yumas. i end up moving them in the shadows.

what setting do you guys have your kessils on? i saw a guy in youtube have his 60 gal. 24x24x24 on 70% intensity -60% color, 10 inches up from the water. all coral types loves it.

i do have mine running on an apex controller, ramping it up 12 to 40% then down again, on a seasonal sun table. 40% max only for 1 hr. on @ 7am to 6pm @ times - 10-12 hrs at least. my frogspawn, green birdsnest, montipora, zoas loves it.

Ty for any input!

Happy Reefing!

Bump

Free bump as I've recently installed a tank with a couple of 360we series. I have a couple of caps on the sand bed that bleached pretty good when I was running them at 70% color and intensity for about 8 hours a day. Note this is on a 150 tall so 30" of water. I've since backed them off to 45% int and 60% color for 8 hours with the same could of hours ramp up and down on each side. Since I've lowered the intensity my toadstool couldn't be happier. So I'd love some input too.
