Intellisun Smart Led Lighting??

reefs-RSW · Jan 14, 2014

Does anyone have one? I have one. I am looking to see if you do. What is you sunrise and sun set configuration? what percentage are you running at etc?

So far this light is very very nice. What is your opinion!!

I don't have time to write a review.... But these lights will compete very nicely!! Hoping someone can share their experience so far!!

I guess I am the only one on Reef2reef!? Okay.:tongue::tongue:. So it was a try! Well here is a nugget. So far I run the purple plus and blue twice as much as the cool whites on this bad boy. For example I run the center 14k aqua special led at 40% and the 8 cool whites at 40%(same channel), and the blue(channel 2) and purple(channel 3) at 80% intensity. So far the corals are happy with this light. I upgraded from a par 38, so adjustment was very little. The purple plus on this intellisun really makes the corals POP. I just have the purple plus running at 5am for starting up, at 1%, then slowing adding the other leds at 6am and the corals look cool!! I dont have a par meter, but so far the eye ball test is showing me that the corals are responding nicely. I think though, the light change has caused some algae growth. That is being monitored. The center 40 watt plus 8 surrounding cool. I am tinkering with the light. I think in the end that I will always operate the blue and purple at higher percentage than the whites as long as I am on the 30 gallon tank, but I think that combo could change with a bigger tank!!

Hi Pitt....do you have one of these lights? What is your preferred light setting for the 3 channels?

hi reefs-RSW are you talking about these http://www.ctlite.cn/English/casesView.asp?ID=41&SortID=14,was keeping some open eyes on them seem marvellous

reefs-RSW · Jan 26, 2014

Yes. So far I am trying to find a good color ratio and adjust from there. All of my corals have responded nicely and are opened up great. I am running at 50% now. Ill definitely have to document growth etc with pics!!

This picture was taken a fews after I recieved the lights on January 2nd.

This was taken late last week. I managed to break it a fews weeks back, but reglued. It is a red forest digitata. What I have observed with these new lights is definate sps growth and of course lps growth as well. My candy cane krytonite is gone from one head to two heads in a two months. I'd say the fingers on the red forest are about 1/4", but with all the polyp extention you cannot see the little stubs growing as well!!! I also rearranged my lights to more purple and blue output and reduced the center 14k light. I was getting algae growth. I am content with the current light ratio and I am running about 75 percent. I will probably give about another month before I max em out!!! All in all my corals are loving the light and so am I!!!
