Kessil Lighting Schedule.

[DjHex831]

Hi,
I'm running two Kessil A160WE Tuna Blue's with a spectral controller on a 90 gallon mixed reef tank. I'm looking for recommendations on a lighting schedule (color and intensity) for each time period.

Thank You

What coral are you keeping in the tank? A FTS (Full Tank Shot) would be very beneficial in aiding your question.

BTW welcome

Currently I'm not home but, I got Acans, Mushrooms, Anemones, Polyps, Monti's, Grandis and Frog Spawns in the tank.

Thanks

Did you purchase an extra unit control link cable? The kessil one is $19.99 , bestbuy has it for like $5. You'll need it

When I ran them over my 40b I would have them go from off to 40% power and 50% color by noon (starting at 8am) and then from 12 to 1600 I would have them powerdown. Have a 90g tank, you might want to go a little higher in the power department but know that they are very strong lights

I run mine at 75% intensity, 45% color with a 90 minute ramp up/down. Starts at 0900 ends at 1930. My tank is 20" deep.
