Par readings on the Evergrow it2080

For those of you that are interested, here are my par readings, at 24% strength. My layout is the standard provided. I think I did a pretty good job getting all over the tank:

Couple question about the evergrows

r you still running at 28% strength and how high is the light from the water. Par reading is with no water movement right?  Seems like a lot for 28%.. wondering how much i need to acclimate coming from the kessils at 100% 100%.

 

thanks., the lights look good especially with t5 combo.

Not meaning to derail your question but what prompted the move from Kessil?

No problem! Bumping an OLD thread! I ramped up at 1% a day until I hit a 60/40 ratio. Again, I used the reefbreeders suggested layout at the time. I ran these lights with great growth on my 150 also. With the t5 supplement filling in shadows, you should have a wonderfully lit setup. 1% a day is total overkill, but I was super into it at the time. I started at 20% for each channel. If anything, I would run the t5 at 4 hours a day to start off. I was probably 10-12" off the waterline.

Great thanks for the feedback. The lights r stronger then expected. The evergrow t5 is great medium budget setup for sure.
