Probably a good idea to mention the type/spectrum of light (LED, fluorescent, Halide... others) as well. There can be quite a difference to the definition of 'high' or 'low' light when you factor in the type. Anything in the blue spectrum doesn't appear that bright to us, but could be considered 'high' to some species of coral.

thanks ! i am curently using 10 watt emiters for led pendants 3 blue 2 white x2 over a 72 galon tank i belive whites are at 70 blues at 80 if that helps ?


post a pic of yours ? mabie we can get an id
try moving them up or making a frag and moving them up see if they do better with more light
