Ai Prime HD usable as a fuge light?

[RyanTheReefer]

So I'm trying to save money and not get a kessil h380 for a fuge light, so is it ok to use an Ai Prime for a fuge? I'm pretty sure its possible but what recommendations do you have? I have mine at UV 119%
Violet 116% Royal Blue 15% Blue 35% and Deep red 129%. Should I have more blue? My tank is a Red Sea reefer 170

You can lower the uv and add more blue. Chloraphyll A peaks at about 429 which is your dark blue and violet, and 662 which is your deep red. chlorophyll b peaks at 455 which is your blue and 642 which is your brighter red. So id lower the uv, keep the violet and raise the royal blue and blue up, and keep red up. Confusing but I hope this helps

Actually that really helps, thanks! Adjusting the setting now

As with any lighting change do it slowly and gradually or your algae might freak out

It can, but it may well be overkill, causing lots of algae growth.

I saved some some and went to the hardware store and bought a 5000k led bulb and put it above my fuge. It was only $25 with the extension cord bulb and light socket.

This was a very small handful less than 2 weeks ago. Its groing like crazy for cheap! I was skeptical of the trial(my buddy suggested it) but it works great! Anyone need chaeto? Lol
