par distribution

Future tank will be 6'Lx28"Wx26"H. I'm tall so figured I'd add 2" in height and hopefully still be able to reach the bottom. I know three XR30 G6 blue's will be enough to light this tank for SPS. However I wanted to add two 60" reefbrites blues, 1 on each side and maybe angled in a little to...

I currently have a 55 gallon tank 55x14x22 with a center brace. I currently have a clown and a ricordea mushroom and plan on working my way up to LPS and maybe some hardier SPS if I don’t upgrade my tank before then. I have 2 viparspectra 165’s arriving on Wednesday and curious on best set up...

Hi, I seem to have a tank that's causing a clash of opinions on what size light to get. My tank dimensions are: 4 L x 20 W x 23.8” H and i have a fairly flat scape; 4 rocks in a row, kept basic for coral real estate and basically no shadowing. I keep LPS and softies- nothing particularly rare...

So, I finally rented a PAR meter and mapped out my 75 shallow. The tank is 60"X18"DX16"H. My lighting consist of an Amazon, 4 bank T5 fixture and 2X48" OR3 blue+ LED bars. All lights are enclosed in a hood. The lights are approximately 8.5 inches off the waters surface. I have a map for the OR3s...

Hello! I have a 4 ft, Innovative Marine EXT 100 tank, and lighting consists of 2 AI 32 HDs on the rail. They are 11 inches off the surface of the water. My goal is LPS/Softies only, and then I have a few BTA's. Over the last couple of weeks, I have had a few LPS losses. I'm wondering if my...

I just purchased a 190 gallon rimless aquarium from top shelf aquatics in Orlando, FL. The dimensions are 60L X 30W X 24H. I wanted to do Orphek for lighting and was thinking about two fullsize Atlantic v4 gen2. Will this be enough for an sps dominant reef? They will be running from left to...

Hi guys, does a tank with white sandbed really have better PAR distribution inside in comparison with the same tank, but with bare bottom and let say black cabinet top? I noticed that lower parts of acroporas branches aren't colored as good as upper and have significantly less polyps number...
