AI Prime Settings for 10 Gallon tank Help..

[SammieT]

Alright guys. Here's my issue. First time using any AI product and need some help to have the correct settings for what I got.


Currently tank only has 2 fish in it (lightening maroon clowns) and some cleaner shrimp.


Only thing besides that in the tank would be 2 small rbtas, a Kenya tree and some magician zoas.

This is what I currently have on my settings

I just set it whatever so I could test the light... Here's a picture of the tank itself

Tank is only a 10 gallon rimless set up



What would be best for it? Any advice helps that way I know I'm not doing anything wrong


Thanks!

I would suggest, have everything at 100% except Green and red, have those at 0%, AND that you put the acclimatization mode ON with a 50% starting reduction on all colours with a period of 25 days. (so each day it will increment up 2%).

You should see an improvement in corals each day... If one day they don't look happy, then its easy to work out what they were happy with and then set to those maximums.

i.e, if after 14 days they are happy, but at day 15 and 16 they don't , then = set maximum intensity to starting amount + daily increment times days happy..... = 50% + ( 2 * 14 ) = 78%.

With such a shallow tank, I would guess 75% most would be max for it.

On mine, I get 450 PAR at the water surface and 200 PAR mid tank (tank is 500mm deep) and 80 PAR at bottom with all on 100% except green and red at 0%.

Will give it a test run! Thanks!

I am trying to do your suggestions. I set the acclimation. Will the lights go automatically with the acclimation? Cause I put it at 100% and did the acclimation at 50%. How do I know if it's reducing the lights?
