Kessil 160w please Help

[LucianoB]

Hey, buddy. I'm lost with my Kessil intensitity configuration.
I have one Pico reef the Kessil 160w are 11" from the surface of the water.
The Display size are 14 L X 9 W X 13 H.
In the botton I have mainly zoanthids. But they not are very well, I suspect about the ilumination. I reject any plague.
I don't know what intensitity will be fine for my size. 100% I believe will be too much. 60%?

If somebody are using this device in one similar display or have experience with that, I will apreciated your comments.

Thank you so much in advance.

I atttach some pictures.

Regards

Hard to tell without PAR meter exactly what your tank needs. I'd suggest "start low, go slow" approach though. In a small tank like that you can definitely give too much light with that kessil.

Everything I've read on the kessils suggests starting very low. I started at 30% intensity on my 360.
There is not a huge visual difference between 30 and 60, but there is a big PAR difference to the corals.
Start low and slow like blackbird said. Way easier to bleach coral than under light them
Tank looks nice!
