SPS Dominant Reefer 170 Full Triton Kessil/T5 Hybrid

[bar|none]

Any idea, please, what is your PAR level (will be enough for me to understand the level on water surface and the level on the bottom of the tank) using the T5/Kessil combination?

I've actually torn the tank down to focus on my new 150 gallon. It was probably 150-200 par on the bottom, 250-350 top 1/3rd and 350-400+ top.

Thank a lot for the information!

For now, I have ended with this (still not connected and not finished. Just placed for initial impression).
Next, I will use PAR meter to adjust the lighting system height.

Looks good except for the center light falling on the brace.

You are right.
Should I place the central and the left Kessil's a bit more to the left side?
Although basically I want to keep an even light spread as far as possible.

Just a comment - fortunately, placing the T5 lighting system above the Kessil light did not "kill" the shimmer
