ap700 owners, lighting schedule

mistaflicksta · Mar 18, 2016

To all ap700 owners, what intensity do you run your lights? What foot print do you have it over? What lighting schedule do you have it at?

I am currently running mine at at 50% peak intensity. Have had it for about 3 weeks. Seems to be working. I want to see what others are using and what is working for you.

48L×24W×30H

Anyone?

I've got 2 on a 240. Similar schedule to yours, 13 hours total including ramp up and down. Peak intensity is 41 in a 30" tank. I thought about turning them up a bit but I'm growing moss as it is.

I have a 10 hour schedule with a similar curve. On a 35" tank I max out around 40%, with the light about 11" over the water line. Honestly I am thinking about lowering the intensity. The ap700 is extremely powerful from what I can tell.

Just increased the intensity 5% on the upper six points, increasing the length of peak intensity time. Peak is now 60%/1hr. Let's see how this pans out

I love mine. I am running it at 60 right now and thinking about turning it down maybe corals are digging it though.

Has anybody with the android phone or I phone beta found a sweet spot for the reds and blues?

I’m on 60% on a 50 lagoon IM

Was running mine @75% with 2 ATI blue plus bulbs @13" over the water on a 3' tank. Currently dropped down to 35% with 2 blue plus and 2 true actinics.
