Hard to say, it's best to use a PAR meter. How high are your lights mounted and what size is your display? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine are 10" off water with a max of 45%. I added 2 t5's a couple of weeks ago and really like the added depth of color

I'm sure you have plenty of light there. Be sure to start corals on the bottom for at least a week. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm loving my AP 700 + T5 (Coral+) combo. The T5's really bring out the reds/pinks and help fill the 30" width of my tank.
Enjoy! |

My ap700 wasn't enough for my tank anymore so I decided to give radions a shot..
Unfortunately I think the radions are gaining a slight edge in my opinion. As for par, at 25% 9" above the water and at the very top peak of my rock work on the right, I'm getting a high of 194 par from the radion. With the ap700 at 75% I am getting ~178 par at the highest peak directly under the puck and it mounted only an inch higher. Regardless, I will continue to run both for the time being Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I believe the middle of the 2 pucks is the highest PAR on the 700s. At 9" off water and at 54% I get about 220 3" below water line. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk |

I'll recheck the par under the 700s tomorrow with more accurate measurements of depth. Can I see your set up? What're you thoughts between the 2 different fixtures? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

For those whom added the t5 what was the jump in par? My peak is 45% at 10" with 2- 24" t5's. Dig the coral+ upfront and blue+ in back. I ran ap700 for 3 months before adding t5s

I'm sure you've seen the brs PAR test, similar PAR readings so something is funny with your data. Don't think it's worth swapping one for the other. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk |

Also consider the Radions are still more narrow than the AP700. Also covering anything less than 36" the Kessil easily can provide more PAR than ever will be needed. @48" the Radion con not even attempt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Perfect that's all I wanted from them I really need a par meter intensity is deceiving. I get better pop when less than 50% intensity

I run my light at 75% for now but may bring it down a little and see if color increases, or might move them. Growth is really good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Man, the T5s really compliment this light well. I walked out into my living room and was taken back at how crisp the tank look while still getting that natural Kessils shimmer.

Hey guys wondering if someone with morr experience of these lights csn chime in..I have two AP 700 lights running the latest firmware and the latest update on the Android app. Both are connected to my home Wi-Fi which is fine. The issue I am having is that one light is always a different colour to the other, It's a very slight difference but is visibly seen. Can you advise what the problem is?*Second to this transitions between lunar mode and normal running is not smooth, along with transitions to the cloud effect.
