Fluval marine led 300

Michelle Crossley · Jan 19, 2019

Hi there

I have bought an LED light.
The LED colours I have are Cold white, purple, blue, pink and cyan and I have a Sunrise, daylight, sunset and a night mode.
Would someone be able to give me some suggestions on how best to set the sequences up.
Each colour has a slider bar from 0 to 100 and I am not sure what percentages to input for each slider bar for the 24 hour cycle.

That is fantastic. Thank you.
I forgot to add that I have fish and coral.
Would the same apply?

I have now had a full 24hrs with the sequence you suggested. It brings out the best of colours in the corals and the fish don't seem to have any complaints either lol

I would lovel to claim credit for percentage setting. @Robin Haselden told me how to set it and he was spot on.
I've played around with light run time. Sunrise starts so early because my kids get up are running around getting ready for school. So I figured why not start the lights about the time they get up. It's helped settle the tank down.

I'm glad the fish and coral love it.

I have tweaked the times a little to suit my lifestyle, other than that I have kept everything else the same.
