Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. Please forgive me if names or terms are incorrect.
I bought a Turing 75 Pop Bloom light. Designed for 3-4 foot tanks. One long light system. 4 channels for light.
It has preset programs that 'should' mimic the seasons and days/nights. I can also set it manually.
During the day it is at times showing 100% of bright white light as well as lower values for the other channels. My corals are hating it. After just 3 days my green morphs have taken off at a great rate heading for the shade. The blasto is sulking and refusing to show it's lovely faces. Even the every happy cat is not impressed.
I don't want to burn the poor darlings. I have tried all the presets but even the algae reducer preset seems to me to be far too white and bright.
The instructions are a tad tricky to understand manually programing it but given I have no idea what values I should input doesn't help.
If anyone is familar with these lights I would love a bit of knowledge please. Is there a way to alter the preset values? Do I need to program the entire thing myself? If so do you know the values and step up/down times? I am sure that they will depend on tank contents just to make it trickier?
Light is positioned 30cm above the water level. Water depth is 42cm. Tank is 3 foot with a variety of corals, 2 starfish, 1 blenny, 1 clown fish and a few shell fish for cleaning up.
