    So, I was able to take some Par readings for my 20 gal, 55 gal, and 130 gal tanks. I would love some input on what people think about the par levels in the tank and where would be the best area to grow different types of coral. I am still a bit new to the whole par levels. The LEDs are run so that the blues and whites are on different drivers. So, the blue numbers are just the royal blue leds and the white numbers are the royal blues and the cool whites running together. THANKS FOR LOOKING! [​IMG]
    20 Gallon DIY LEDs (10 Royal Blue, 6 cool white, 2 moonlights)
    Lighting schedule:
    12:00 - 2:00 (Royal Blue)
      2:00 - 8:00 (Blues and whites)
    8:00 - 11:00 (Royal Blue)
    24/7 moonlights are on

    55 Gallon Power Compact (4 - 65W, 50/50 actinic/cool white)
    These don't have as much flexibility. So all lights are on from 12:00 - 10:00.

    130 Gallon DIY LEDs (50 Royal Blue, 30 Cool White, 8 moonlights)
    Lighting schedule:

    12:00 - 2:00 (Royal Blue)

      2:00 - 8:00 (Blues and whites)

    8:00 - 11:00 (Royal Blue)

    24/7 moonlights are on

    Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated. Such as where to put SPS, LPS, softies, zoas, polyps. Or, what to do for improving the hours and lighting cycle, etc.
    Thanks again! /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/biggrin.gif

    Borrowed it from the club. The des Moines region has one to loan to members.

    The art of Copy Watches earning a decent income is proven to be very helpful not to mention how one Replica Chanel can start even without the need for any capital, depending on the type of Chanel Replica income earning strategy one can choose.
