Aqua illumination sol blue settings

[duke62]

can someone with the aquatic illumination run down each setting you have time and each bulbs intensity from 1st setting to 14th. also how many minutes you have it. also ramp minutes. pretty much your whole lighting periods

Kres how deep is your tank, I see you are running at 100%

richie wanna hold hands while you tag along..maybe skip a little

It's a 90 gallon I believe 30 inches

anytime buddy, just let me know when

 

[rkaragozler]

It's a 90 gallon I believe 30 inches

did you take par readings??
how is the tank looking?
what type of coral do you have?
what did you have prior to the leds?

 

[duke62]

:biggrin: love ya rich im not going 100 percent quite yet but i would do your settings just a lower intensity. just needed somewhere to start. thanks bro

This is what happened got a great deal on 3sol blue units originally was gonna use them on my fish only tank but figured I'd try them on the reef tank instead ..
The reef tank is a mix of sps and lps decent amount of both,I originally had 2 reefkoi evolution LEDs on it took par readings of the reefkoi and they blew the ai sol blue away with par reading even with the ai at 100 percent so was kinda disappointed in the ai but did like the ability to control the intensity so it's only been a few weeks all corals so far are responding well even with a lower par than what they had before

No need for me to lower my intensity since the LEDs I had on there before the ai were a lot stronger than the ai at 100percent

Someone told me you cant get accurate par readings from a par meter with LEDs?

 

[kres1024]

Yea I heard that too ,but even if that's true and the numbers are off, the number I got on my other leds were still higher than the ai was so at least I know I'm not gonna cook my corals

Wow 100% percent ! That's crazy high , i have bleached corals trying to go that high with my ai lights

 

[ducati335i]

I'll post mine tonight

 

[Paolissimo]

I have 3 AquaIllumination SOL Blue's on my 180g tank (72x24x24) connected to a ReefKeeper Elite. I have them 14" off the water running at 70%W and 75%B and I have been getting some nice coral growth. Everything seems happy.

Ok fellas let's see the lighting schedules!!
