I don't have the 6200's but I run mine around 10-12K for 4 hours in the middle of the day and get 250-275 PAR at that ~8" below water surface. That's running at 75% brightness in high efficiency mode.

Default having issues with my 6200

Ok I set up a program to run the lights and my scollies are dying, and im getting green aglase growing that i never had before and Red turf is coming back. My corals seems to be reaching for the light.
I'm hoping the channels are set right i have them set for 50% but is that right or does that stay at 100%. If I want to boost the LED i use the slider bar at the top..

WRT the hair algae and Red cynao Im running pellets and have ben since last oct and never had a issue. since i put in this 6200 from the 6100 its going weird .
