What does your AI prime lighting schedule look like?

[James5214]

I recently invested in a AI prime and would like to know what lightning schedule and intensity on your channels you are running. I right now am using the brs recommended 40 percent intensity for a 18x18 inch cube even though mines a 20 long. But I would like to see what you guys run and what gave you best result. I only have very basic corals in my tank as of right now. Xenia, 2 zoa frags and those both have already produced 1 tiny new head a piece. My pipe organ and the new Duncan I purchased last weekend.

I run Bixby schedule on my cube and it does fair. I think it might be a bit to strong at times though. No par meter so not 100%

I've been running a version of the BRS schedule, never heard of Bixby's. Can you describe it or link it? Thanks!

Only reason I went with brs because of there experience and such great knowledge. I plan to slowly increase over time

I was using the brs settings on my 14x13x13 Fluval flex for about a year before looking into something else. I didn’t care for the brs colours too much. I ended hearing about a Pirates of the Caribbean setting which I had to find on their Facebook group. Loved the colours so much more and haven’t looked back since.

I’ll throw mine up once I get home. I run a planet aquariums Tideline lagoon aio 48.5x18.5x15.75. I’m running a my own modified take on the BRS if I remember correctly. Things are growing so I must be doing something right haha.

90s reefer I want to get to that point but I will have to slowly intensify it over time don't want to shock or the corals but that is a beautiful sps tank and frag tank I want my. Colors to pop like that even though I have softies and 1 lps so far

I’m sure there are better options out there but it could be a start.

So my Duncan won't open up after the hermit crabs crawled all over it. I got it last Friday and it had started to open up after being in the tank but all my hermit crabs went all over it picking off whatever was on it from the LFS and since then it has not opened up. Any things I can do to possibly help it open up?

I run the david Saxby schedule. I set it back to turn on at 10:30 am to 10:30 PM. I like to enjoy my tank at later times in the evening. Sorry for confusion the auto correct didnt help.

Hi, 4 prime 16’s on a rsr 250 with diffusers

About a week ago I swap from a prime to an Hydra on a Nuvo20. Currently running a modified Eddie Putra preset. I was running a modified Karen Vazquez prior.

 

[James5214]

Yes I also like to enjoy my tank later in evening since I'm at work until 6pm everyday.

I commented earlier about my Duncan closing up ever since all my hermits went crawling on it and hasn't opened since. Should I try to move it to a different spot or what?
