New to LED's - need advice on intensity/schedules

[Vahanyos]

Hey guys

Just got an AI Prime and I need some help figuring out the schedule, intensity, etc...

Quick current setup: I'm currently using a 2 bulb t5 fixture with ati bulbs, 54w blue plus and coral plus (I think) sitting at 6 inches above the water line. Tank is 14 deep from sand bed to water. Corals mostly sitting from sand bed as high as 6 inches only in the tank. Monti cap sitting at about 10 inches. Mostly LpS and softies.

The prime will sit 8 inches above water line.. and coming from t5's I've never had this much controllability with colors and intensity. Definitely do not want to ruin my corals. A good beginner schedule or recommendations would be great. What colors are good to use, too much of what is bad, etc...

If you can link me to a good article or setup too I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks!!

The frustrating part is the is not that much out there on reactions to setting from AI. What I have learned is keep the reds and greens at about 5% and whites below %30. I run my Hydra's at 58w and that seems to work. Do an acclamation and watch and see how the corals react. The light are bright

AI on Facebook has alot of action, adventures and fun.
Seriously, they get a ton of scheduling threads
