Ghl mitras settings for color /evening view

[kilnakorr]

Hi

Was wondering what channels (blues) people are running on their mitras 7206 lamps for best colors in the evening?

You mean like after sunset, ie: moonlight?

No. I meant for best colors.
I just copied a schedule, was works fine and looks ok, but unsure if all uv and blue channels give the best colors at the end of the day.

At the end of the day - it's more aesthetics for your viewing enjoyment.

exactly. But wondering if running all the blue channels gives the best colors.
I hate tempering with the settings, so input before I mess it up is appreciated.
Maybe the colors pop more with just UV and royal blue?

I agree best colors depends on what you like to see. It's objective.

I like to see the floursecents more in the morning and evening. That is my preference.
If you don't like the look then you can tweak it.

That is what I like. Just unsure what channels to use for best effect.
Obviously the uv and blues, but all uv and blue channels?

You said that the program that you copied has all blues and uv. Now you are wondering if something else looks better.

Well only you can determine that. It's the eye of beholder. I cant tell you what you like. Only wife can tell me what I like.

My suggestion is for you to take out one of the blues and see what you think. Then you can add in some other colrs etc and see what you like. Now that you have a program and see how they work. You can custom that to your preference.

I am now using telegraham's modified AB+ schedule but it is the same spectrum all day. I tried ReefRockerLive's schedule prior to that and it had a lot of blue that made things glow but was to blue for me.

I would suggest makn your own. I made all of my schedules from scratch as well on the mitras to what I Iike and to what my corals responded too the most. That way they come on/off when you want and provide whatever spectrum you want to vary throughout the day. I really like the programmability of the mitras. My favorite of any led fixture I have had.

Depends on the corals, their pigment content, and a bit in your eye dullness to different wavelengths of blue.
But this might help:

Chalfie and Kain state 470nm is the universal LED for demonstrating coral fluorescence (meaning all fluorescence, except those with excitation/emission spectra below 470nm will 'glow'.)

Thank you.
Guess I need to try various settings. I mostly wonder if some channel may wash out the color the same way white does.
