That basket is so cool. I guess you must be giving it the right amount of food for it to come out and feed at night.

I put this graphic together for Ecotech's Coral Lab program.
PAR numbers along with general coral ID's.
The yellow numbers are generally in the middle of the tank from top to bottom and the row of blue are bottom close to the front glass.
BTW, the wide angle lens causes the illusion that the lights are close together.
In reality they are more evenly spread across the length of the tank.
They are mounted 17" off the surface of the water and here they were running at 75% power, using the Coral Lab AB+ program.
I'm currently experimenting with running them at a lower power due to having a relatively low nutrient tank.

That info is quite helpful! My G4Pros are on the RMS mount, so they're about 10" above the water. Putting water clarity aside, that allows me to make some inferences about where I should have my lights set.
I notice your PAR bumps up a little at the ends of your tank. I assume that's due to light reflecting off the glass.

Hi Steve, about 13" from center to center of the led pucks.

Yes, I noticed that the farther down you go, the higher the par as you go out towards the glass. Not sure if its reflecting like you say or what.

Thanks, Steve.
It's making landfall as a Cat 3 Hurricane.
We should be mostly ok in my area as far as wind goes which I'm hoping keeps power outages to a minimum, but we are expecting a TON of rain over the next 4-5 days.
There's going to be a lot of flooding.
If needed, I've got my generator ready with about 25-30 gallons of gas that should get us through a few days, running fridge, tank, portable ac, fans, etc.
Now I'm glad I decided to skip macna this year!

Don't you mean "If needed, I've got my generator ready with about 25-30 gallons of gas that should get us through a few days running the tank." :rollface:
