AI 26 HD lighting schedule help?

[JoeJoe822]

Hello, I have an AI 26 HD OVER A 28 gl Nanocube. Im having problems programming the right light schedule/intensity.
It is about 12” from the surface of the water.
The tank depth is about 14-141/2 “ from surface to sand. Does anyone have a good intensity/ramp schedule they can recommend for a mixed reef?

Here is a link to my settings link . These work really well with my mixed reef.

Thanks for the link, I never knew you could share settings. Very cool. What size tank do you have the light over?

Yes, it's pretty cool that the setting can be shared instead of coming up with your own. 48L x 18 W x 21 deep. My 2 hryda's are 12" off the water.

I’ve had mine for a few years now, and could never find a good setting, I never used a par meter, so I couldn’t tell if it was too bright or not enough. My Monti caps grow great either way, but never had luck with sps..

Use vitamin C. Sps's is all about keeping a steady alk and feed the right food. I use the balling method of dosing

Oh its just a 3part added to the tank? That should help lps as well? Like frogspawn, leathers etc?

Yes, with less expense then 2 part with dosing and getting micro elements

Thank you for all the help! Does this need to used with dosers? Or can it used an easier way.

I have this B-Ionic can that be used with balling?

I have the AI settings for the “ SPS AB+ 24”AWL “ preset. However, I can’t figure out how to share them on this thread. There was/is a large popular thread on RC about the settings and tweaking them for personal preference. The SPS AB+ file is similar to that of Coral Labs settings on the Ecotech. I know there’s also a preset on the thread for 12” AWL profile as well.

PM me and I’ll be happy to email/ text the file to you.
