I rented a par meter from my LFS and am trying to nail down a lighting schedule for my new LPS/softie 22.4g cube build. am hoping to sneak a piece or 2 of SPS up top.
My lights are a 12" AI blade Glow and a Kessil a80.
I have tuned them to have about 100-120 at the sand bed, 115-125 on the middle shelf, 150-165 on the top shelf, and the arch above the top shelf reaches about 200+ish
I am going for 12 hours of lighting. I was thinking 4 hours in the middle or end I will switch the a80 to full white for viewing/fun and the other 6 hours with normal blue for growing. At the end I will shut down the a80 for the ramp down period.
EDIT: Adjusted Par totals some
