What Lighting does

Track light fixtures, photoperiod, and PAR. Lighting equipment lives in Tools > Equipment; coral light requirements are on each species entry.

  • Each coral species page lists its lighting requirement (low / medium / high / SPS-intense).
  • Photoperiod and ramp settings live on the equipment record.
  • PAR / spectrum measurements can be logged as parameter measurements (custom parameter).
