AI Prime HD settings for refugium

[goody]

I have been running a red led grow light I bought online for my chaeto in my refugium. I recently added a larger variety of macros (Dragon's breath, Prolifera, red grape, ogo and hayi). Since I had an AI Prime laying around, I thought I'd use it for my refugium light. Can anyone recommend settings that would provide the spectrum needed to grow both the red and green macros.

You don’t need to change spectrum between red & green macro. What is more important is depth collected? Why is Bortacladia, Red Grapes, collected in 40’-120’ of water? When I get it from the divers it is an attractive burgundy in color. If subjected to intense light, it will bleach and go sexual. I consider Bortacladia a low light display tank macro. It can be trained to take more light intensity with a resulting change in macro color from burgundy to fire engine red to yellow orange.

Thanks for the information. So maybe I should just stick with the red led grow light?

I was just following advice from the reefer I purchased from.

Possibly the AI prime did start to bleach it (see photo).
