Setting up AI Director on a frag tank

[New2dareef]

So here's what I've got, I have the 20 gal JBJ frag tank with a hydra 26 about 16" above it. Mostly LPS frags. Acans, Duncan's, candy canes... I just got an AI director and I'm looking for some help. Light height, day and lunar settings. Light intensity. Color ratio. Any tricks or any info anyone would be willing to share.

I have all of those corals as well as some hammer and some SPS. I don't have mine as high, mine are 10" AWL. But the tank is 24" tall, so your height is probably fine.
I'm on a 12 hour cycle with 4 hours ramp up, 4 hours peak, and 4 hours ramp down. These are my channel levels

How long have been running at this level? Everything happy?

Do you have any pics at peak with this schedule?

Everything is very happy. LPS and the couple of softies I have look like they're going to pop they get so big.

Sure, here you go...

The iPhone pics are much bluer than real life, so sorry about that.

Very nice. Is that the AI mounting rack? And you say bottom of the light is 10" off the water?

Thank you sir. And yes that is the AI Classic Rail kit and the height is just shy of 10" AWL... I'll just call it 10"
