Do anyone have PAR readings on Reefbreeders PhotonV2 at SPS AB+ settings?

[Tripod1404]

Hey guys,

Do any of you run photon V2 close to ecotech SPS AB+ settings and have the PAR readings for that?

Reefbreeders have the PAR data for the light on their website, but those are the reading taken when all channels are at 100%. So unfortunately it is not very helpful.

SPS AB+ light schedule is basically has ~4-1 ratio of blue channels vs. white/red/green channels. For example, if you have deepblue, coolblue and violet(UV) each at 30%, you will keep white, red and green each at 8%.

Here is a link to SPS AB+ from ecotech if you are intrested;

I have readings @ the 12K settings if that helps.

Yes it would help alot!!! Thank you. If I am not wrong 12k is a lot bluer than daylight right?

It should still give me a lot better idea compared to all channels running at 100%

Also, could you also share your peak channel percentages, so that I can compare it mine?

Here you go--- Red & Green 70% Both Blues & Violet 80% White 90%
Lights 7" over water.
Depth 1"--650-750 5"--430-500 10"--320-415 15"--225-300 24"--130-160

Now technically for 12K the whites should be 100% but this is what I got ---

Not really that blue like 20K but it's what I prefer.

How is your tank doing with that 70%+ settings ?what corals are you keeping

How long do You run your lights at those high settings each day ?

I run the photon v2 on my tank but at peak my blue and violet channels are at 65. I only peak the white to 30. I prefer the bluer look and after a couple years of playing its what worked for me. I am also a LPS guy though I kept SPS under it before at the top, switch over to LPS though so traded the SPS
