Kessil AP9X setup

[rockdiver]

So I set the light up.
I have like 10 points.
Can I just set like 4 points ?
Turn on at 7am at a low setting then say 10am a higher setting the noon higher then ramp it down.
Will it gradually go up to each point then back down ?
Or do I have to keep all the points.
Here's what I have now but I want to change it. I guess what I am asking will it Ramp up and down nicely.
New to this light

If you delete points then you won't have to set as many

yes, it's fully dimmable, I forget what the gradient is (some are 4000:1 some are 400:1) but it will definitely ramp up and ramp down based on the line and not the points.

Ok after I did the points I thought of this and was wondering. I'm testing it now just hung over the floor will but it on the tank this weekend.
Any good advice for the setting.
I have a waterbox 110.5 with mostly softies, zoes and fish and a bta
I have a reef breeders photon+48
Was going to put this under it for now, sound crazy ? till I get my 30L going next month.

110.5 (if the same as 110.4) is 47.2"×19.7"×21.7". For a mixed Reef system the Single AP9X is enough light, it's meant to cover 48" x 24" x 30" alone when hanging between 15" and 18" off the surface. So... If you want an SPS Dominant tank that's a different story but you mentioned softies, zoas, and a bta, so...

as far as settings go, set an acclimation mode to go from like 30% intensity to 100% intensity over the course of a month so you don't shock your corals, but Kessils are kind of idiot proof, they built them so that their Tuna blue spectrum is always present and you adjust other channels to your visual taste. The only thing you have to worry about is intensity, and I think for a tank that size you'd be ok somewhere between 85 and 100% intensity.

So set the intensity that high ?
But keep the tuna blue to where I like it.
How about the UV ?
The red and green I'm not really using
Thank you guys ! Got more info out of this then watching videos all week lol
Oh it is the same I hit 5 should be 110.4

yeh, then 85% - 100% intensity depending on how you want your tank setup (start at 85 and move higher after acclimation if you want). The Tuna Blue should be kept the way it is (Just pick its intensity between 85% and 100%), and you would use white and UV to taste, though use UV sparingly at first, it's the harshest of all the light but you cannot see it with your eyes (you can only see the fluorescence it produces). So try it off small and slowly move up to taste.

Ok great thanks for the clear explanation!

就设置而言，将适应模式设置为在一个月内从 30% 强度到 100% 强度，这样你就不会惊动你的珊瑚，但是 Kessils 是一种白痴证明，他们建造它们是为了让它们的金枪鱼蓝色光谱始终存在，您可以根据自己的视觉品味调整其他通道。你唯一需要担心的是强度，我认为对于这样大小的坦克，你可以在 85% 到 100% 的强度之间。

Hi i have 1.2 tank inc lps nps like this ，how can i set up ap9x
