    these are pictures of the 29G frag tank. i am still acclimating the frags to the lights so it is a little dim but my guess is it is @ 30% for blue and 10% for white.

    I have mine at about 20%, is that good? How often and by how much should I increase the output?

    maybe like 5% a week, but if you see any negative resuls then back it off for another week.

    Thanks. I'm a little concerned simply because my corals were light-less for 2-days (light unit died) and the previous light unit was a 3 year old, 2-bulb fixture that had shorted out from water at one point. I'm sure this is a big shock.

    So, it looks as though I can get my hands on a PAR meter, when I do I will test my current set up, my new set up and my 29 gallon with the par-38 bulbs and post my results. So excited, my lights should be here this week!!
