Ai Prime Lighting Settings

[Osimno]

So Ive had a AI Prime 16 HD light on my tank for about a month now and it's great.

I was just wanting others opinions on my schedule and if you think it could be improved? My tank is 30cm deep and the light is 20cm above my water

I've put an video attachment on of what the percentages are at and at what times

The best way to fine-tune your schedule is with a PAR meter or equivalent, as it's often difficult to gauge just how much light various areas of the tank are receiving.

BUMP i wanna know too. Also depends on your corals

 

[Osimno]

Yeah, I should try get my hands on one and try, but for now.. any suggestions?

What he said.
I have a 13 inch deep tank with SPS and LPs corals and use BRS" AB+ setting on mine (3 of them) set 9' above surface of water.
BRS"s AB+ settings:
UV 119%
Violet 116%
Blues 80%
Red & Green 4%
White 19%
This uses about 32watt

I run mine at a pretty high intensity. LPS seen to like it, grows them well. Max intensity set to 90%. BRS guide attached below as well.

I might try this for a week or so, depending on other responses

It's in one of there movies on youtube--try BRS Prime 16HD.
Be advised -the high #s on the UV and violet melt the lens in about 5-6 months.. AI now limits how high you can set them.

Take your time with lighting. I lowered my lights to do getting out of sps for a little and my big trachy on the bottom closed up for about 2 weeks. It’s slowly opening again now.

I’m now running BRS setting above at 70% except I’ve and v at 80% and cw at 15%

I have zoas, gonis, and mushrooms. my two purple gonis are a bit sensitive but i I'm pretty sure my zoas and mushrooms could survive an apocalypse. I will do it slowly tho for sure
