Hello does anyone have an experience with this light?

Thank you,

What is it you want to know?

 

[mihajlo22]

I have that light with controller . Please tell me if you have some good schedule for that light? Thank you.

I have no idea what kind of PAR that fixture is capable of, but I'd suggest you run the blue channel at 80%, the white at 40% and do at least a 6 to 8 hour high photo period.

So i should not run blue and white at the same percentage? Thank you

• High energy density specially adapted for strong coral growth (PAR = 1,250 μmol m-2s-1). That is what is says on their website.

You could start with both the channels a bit lower and ramp up over time.

You run the blue higher because it's far more important to the algae that lives inside the coral polyps called zooxanthellae. That algae uses blue spectrum light to do photosynthesis which helps feed the coral. Most other plant life uses more red spectrum.
