88 LED's is about twice wht I have on my 60... I had 48 on my 60 and needed to shut off 12... They cooked all the coraline off my rocks... Got worse when I added optics.

What kind of optics and how are they spread around the tank?

I would crank them down to 20%... any growth your LPS had will stop... slowly crank them up over months. Add a couple of SPS frags on a magnetic rack and slowly inch them up about an inch a week.


This is what I did on mine and I now have a green birdsnest on the top growing very well. My lights are at 50% (36 led's) and I am finally getting some LPS growth again. I am gonna leave them at this level until I get my hands on a PAR meter... I am hoping I can get them up a little more so my LPS on the bottom grow again like before...
