It seems like these are the top light settings for aqua illumination lights, feel free to put your input on why you chose one over the other!

I don't have them yet, but this week i'll be putting some hydra 26's over my tank, and i'm going to try the AB+ schedule. I just think that with all the testing that went behind the AB+ and the proven results from ecotech, why not give it a shot

That’s what I thought as well! I just started using it but they seem so much different I’m just wondering what the different outcomes are.

I'm not familiar with David Saxby settings, what are the main differences between that and the AB+? These are the settings I had planned on running the hydras at

Itll be on a 40 breeder for a little bit, but then they're getting transferred to my 75 gallon with T5s

Nice I’m running ab at 75% on my 40.

Ive got a 60 gallon cube and just purchased the Hydra 52. Would I be okay running the exact settings as the brs ab+?

What corals are you keeping?

PoppinPolyps · Feb 26, 2019

Some Sps in the top part of the tank and then mostly Lps- lots of zoas.

I would do the same concept but at lower percentages to start, just so you dont shock everything from the change. That's what I'm doing when my new lights come in this week

Sorry everyone, I'm new. What is AB+ and where can I find that schedule? I'm getting my first tank soon (Reefer 525, 108 tank volume, will eventually have primarily LPS with a few SPS at the top).
