RedSea Reefled 90 intensity suggestions
Hi. i got Redsea 525xl with 3 Reefled90 lights 9 months ago. i currently have some lps and softies in my tank. i have my intensity at 50%(blues) and 20%(whites). i lowered the intensity in the beginning to lower the algae bloom on my tank glass. i am wondering is that intensity too low for corals or should i raise them up? also my lights run for 10 hrs a day. should i run them longer? any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Some purple say 30% would look nice & is a growth spectrum. I run 50% super blue & 50% coral growth purple with great success. I run T5HOs but you can adjust so try it you may like it much better, i found after a lot of different bulb comparisons this blend was a great all around mix & does not look overly blue or violet, an almost natural mid water depth look.

50 and 20 sounds good to me. You can run acclimation mode to make sure the corals adapt to the lights. 10 hrs photoperiod is good.
