Lighting schedule sharing?

RichtheReefer21 · Apr 13, 2019

I have a fb group I follow, and they have schedules for their lights available for download.

Anyone ever suggest or try to inquire about have a section in the lighting forum where it had a Manufacturer-specific location to download light settings or schedules for their particular set up? Here on r2r?

Just an idea. Sounded good anyways.

That’s a great idea but there are a lot of lights out on the market.

Would be great to have one source for them all. And users could submit them freely. I think the database would grow on it's own. Hmmm

I think the AI Prime HD leds come with pre configured settings that work for most general reef setups. I was worried about this same thing when I got my Kessil 160we's and realized that as long as you have enough light for a long enough duration, it pretty much comes down to personal preferences in regard to aesthetics for the MOST part.

Is there a place you have to source kessil programming?

Right. So what if a lighting schedule database was a click away right here on reef2reef?

Meh, maybe I'm crazy.

Ive seen a couple scattered post around of people w Kessils showing their settings that they use on their controller, ill look around in my browsing history to see if I can find them. As for myself, I have just been using 50% color at 100 percent intensity for 10-11 hours a day with pretty much no ramp up. All corals thriving, acros growing, so keeping status quo.
