Due to a spot lighting effect with the stock 40 degree optics I changed out 14 of the 16 optics and replaced them with 70 degree. I left one 40 degree in each module in areas where I wanted deeper light penetration for clams or other PAR lovers that I want to put lower in the tank.
I am running two AI SOL Blue length wise over a 47x24x25 tank and have the units 7" off the water. These measurements were taken with both blues and whites at 100%.
With Blues at 100% and whites at 80% subtract 40 from the PAR number I have. I am running at this percentage right now due to liking the 20k look. I will eventually ramp the whites higher if that's what the corals want.
Raising the lights just 1.25" resulted in 18 points of PAR loss.
No making fun of my frag fest tank either!
I will update with growth results as time passes. I will try and minimize coral rearranging.
