Aqua illumination sol blue settings

[howze01]

I don't know my exact ones I can post them later but I don't use more than 4 or 5 timers. I just have the ramp periods over 2 hours or so. That way the lights do the work for me. I think my max is 30% white but the blue and royal blue go up to about 70%.

My lights start at 11 with a 2 1/2 hour ramp up to 45% white 70% blue and 90% royal blue than at 730 21/2 hour ramp down to just 5% royal blue till midnight

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

Not in my case where I was going from LEDs with a stronger par than the ai at 100 percent so the corals were already acclimated to a stronger par..

What LEDs did you have that were stronger? That's nuts!
Mine go to 60 white during the day and I'm growing Sps 30 inches below water my lights are 12 inch above water... They run from 730-1020

So 200 Watts of LED vs 140? Yeah that would PROBABLY give you a little better PAR readings.....

 

[duke62]

so just 3 people that can give there lighting schedule

 

[Paolissimo]

I just got mine, i am gonna set them up this weekend, and then i'll post the schedule, i honestly don't even know, i'll probably tone it down until i acclimate the corals. They are under halides now, i am thinking they shouldn't be too "shocked" by the lights.

 

[ducati335i]

I have mine at home was too lazy last night.. You really have to play around with it a little.. I'll try to post later

i wouldnt go over 50% if i were you bro. even though you had MH this is a different type of intensity and you should start low for a while

 

[ducati335i]

Def start low.. I had 3 400 watt mh.. LEDs way stronger

 

[Paolissimo]

Thanks for the heads up.

 

[jerl77]

[Tonyscoots84]

duke you got AI's so the competition is over then since you switched to a different brand?

 

[jerl77]

nope we dont care i am going to smoke both of them duke how the corals looking i got a suprize for you lol

duke you got AI's so the competition is over then since you switched to a different brand?

 

[ducati335i]

I had radium 400 watt mh.. Now I got ai's they are 10 better in every way...
How is that competition even working? Only way you could show true results is w one tank and the same corals... half tank led half mh... If not there are too many variables esp the cameras and photoshop.....

 

[Tonyscoots84]

if your corals have color in your tank it will show with wateva camera you use. if you dont have color again it will show with any camera
