Got the par meter today. Gezz... I was way off. I knew the numbers were low, because I burnt tips, stressed my Gigantea, and took the power way down, but the corals were only getting 80 par at the top of the rocks which are already low in the tank. Yikes!

Bumped it up to 200 par. Probably gonna burn tips, again, but I only ramped the T5’s up w/o the LED’s so maybe they’ll tolerate it better. I don’t have time to ramp right now. I guess if they burn I’ll have to. Normally I’d go up by 5-10% a week, but just gonna be stupid aggressive and hope they tolerate it. My wife is fixing to have the baby so it is what it is right now.
