MH first timer here. I am giving Metal Halides a shot over my frag system. For it I have two hybrid reefbrites 250W MH fixture with their Blue XHO strips.
I am going to be running the MH for 6 hours with the LED strips one the entire time. 1.5 hours before and after the MH.
I’ve raised the fixture high enough where the par is 400-500 when the MH are on. When they are off the LED strips provide just 100 par. Is 100 par during ramp up and down doing anything? Is it enough for the SPS to get 4-500 par for 6 hours at peak with 3 hours of 100 par?
