Hello,
Thank you for your advice on this topic
I am wondering about the ideal PAR / photoperiod / interval while setting up my lights
I know that each coral is very different with its lighting requirements - but in general:
Is it best to keep the same PAR on a coral for the entire photoperiod?
eg. A coral that thrives in 150 PAR - should you keep that coral location at 150 PAR for the entire photoperiod?
Or is it best to keep it at 150 PAR for ~4 hours, and then lower, closer to 100 for the remaining 8 hour period?
(or does it really just depend on the coral?)
I am trying to follow the WWC spectrum found here for 75g
worldwidecorals.com
Which is 4 hours with:
100% UV, Violet, Royal, Blue
10% green
5% red
10% warm white
15% cool white
and then 8 hours with:
100% UV, Violet, Royal, Blue
Should I be trying to match the PAR of the first 4 hours with the PAR of the remaining 8 hours?
Thank you very much for your help!
