    Ok new into the Reef tank and honestly a slight bit confused on the lighting thing,





    I switched out my HQI hood on my JBJ 28G and refit in 2 LED strips due to a water temp problem, I went with One Panorama Pro LED Module 24V- 445nm Blue and One Panorama Pro LED Module 24V- 12K White





    Is this enough to Do any coral or will I need one more Panorama Pro LED Module 24V- 12K White to bring it up some?? it just seems a bit dimmer/less crisp then it did with the other bulb.





    Thanks in advance for any advice given.

    Hey Merle, I am thinking that light will be fine for most corals outside of SPS. But to be sure we can get together with the par meter and check and see what your values are and go from there.

    LoL cool we can get together next week sometime after the show. If you got the time you should really come check it out in Des Moines this weekend. You wont be disappointed even if you are not ready to buy anything.
