So anyone have experience with Current USA Orbit Marine lights? I have 3 of them since I bought the tank used and I finally got around to PAR testing since I got my first SPS today. With the blue spectrum on full blast I’m getting about 100 par at the top of the water and 25 at the sand bed an with white spectrum on full blast I’m getting around 210 par at the top and 60 at the sand

Sounds really low. May need to add extra lights. I wouldn’t wanna run a light full blast.

Yeah I don’t want to either, looking at just completely removing them and getting 4 orphek OR4 bars

Yo that white spectrum par is def solid but 25 at sand sounds low for SPS maybe move em up a bit? You got decent flow too? SPS gotta have both light

I’m running them during the day in the white spectrum and sunset is full blast blue channel. 25 at the sandbed is egregiously low but would explain why the old owner had all of his corals on the rocks even low light corals
