Hello, I had a bit of tank set back after a cyano outbreak. Have spent the last year getting the tank back on course and have done a few ATI water tests to confirm my water parameters. I lost several corals, and I am left with 2 very healthy hammer coral colonies, zooanthids, mushrooms. Recently added a Duncan (being a little stubborn to open, but no dying) and prink colt coral. My settings on my AI, in this order from Blue to white 118/118/140/116/0/0/6. I hold this from noon to 8pm with 1/2 hour ramp at the front and end. I liked your profile you shared in the video. I'm thinking of adjusting lights as I feel corals feel a little stalled out. My concern is the daylight setting of 80% from my 6%...would that be too much light shock in your opinion. Should I baby step up to the 80%?
Hello. If you change to my settings, you will need to run acclimation mode. Acclimation mode starting % is usually determined by intensity change, but in general, most people start the new program at 70% with 30 day acclimation.
Thank's for the video My light never shuts off at the selected sunset time. It stays in blue mode all night. Any idea what i may be doing wrong, thanks for your help
Hello Would this be a good lighting settings/schedule for my tank, which is 28inches x 18 inches x 18 inches ? Have got one ai prime 16 hd, placed 11 inches off the water. Having bubble tip anemones, zoa and mushrooms. Thank you?
Hey is the white spectrum of 60% necessary, in terms of coral growth ? Most of the fellow folks suggest very low range like 5%-30%. Also that duration of white looks a bit whitish in my 20 gal red sea nano, scares me of diatoms or other algae growth.
You can absolutely reduce the white if you don’t like it. I suggest you increase the blue, Royal blue, Violet, and UV to compensate for a reduced white. You can have a happy healthy reef tank with very low white. The white does increase coral growth but you can still get great growth with low white. The best light advice I can give is to adjust it to what you enjoy.
If you like the look of the blue period. You can eliminate the mid day change in blue, Royal blue, Violet, and UV. Just have those run standard across the board, then add in 10-15% white mid day to give a little extra par pop.
This is my first led I have a fluval Evo 13.5. With stock light.... But just bought an AI prime 16 HD sol...... ??? Now is the blue better than the white or just some white with lots of blue.....???? What's best for coral???
Hello. Providing you give them the right spectrum of blue. Blue will make them look better, color up better, and grow better. Any white I have ever ran, even on my bulb tank with metal halides, the white portion of the light spectrum has always been for just about 5 hours and I always ran blue with it. The biggest draw back to all the blue time is how the fish look. You don’t get to see all the pretty fish colors if all you do is pump blue in the tank.
Hello. You can get the schedule a few ways: 1. You can message me on Facebook. 2. I have it saved in the files section of the FaceBook group AI Prime/Hydra Reef Group. It is called Salty Pops. 3. Send me your email address and I’ll email it to you. 4. Manually create in just 8 setting points.

Canister filter. No scrubber. I keep my setup pretty basic. Lights. Canister filter. Skimmer. Heater. I have a video that shows the entire setup if you are interested as well as how I control algae and my cleanup crew.
Hello. It should work great. My tank is ~61cm deep (24 inches) and I grow Monti cap at the bottom. Should be plenty enough power. I would recommend watching the updated video I did. I changed the ramp times to 1 hour and put some growth updates for the coral.

Hello
Would this be a good lighting settings/schedule for my tank, which is 28inches x 18 inches x 18 inches ?
Have got one ai prime 16 hd, placed 11 inches off the water.
Having bubble tip anemones, zoa and mushrooms.
Thank you?
Yes this will work great. Just know that the nems may move a bit closer to the middle as that will be higher par

Would this schedule be good for evo nano tank? Or is it to strong.
Hello. It depends on what you want to put in the tank. For an LPS and softy I would cut the intensity in half.
Did I miss it? what size is your tank?
This one is a 45 gal. 36” long
Can you send this to me as well please?

Are you using a refugium or algae scrubber on this tank? This is crucial information based on the light schedule you’re using
Canister filter. No scrubber. I keep my setup pretty basic. Lights. Canister filter. Skimmer. Heater. I have a video that shows the entire setup if you are interested as well as how I control algae and my cleanup crew.
hey man, whats your thoughts on your program for hydra26hd on a aquaone400.deep tank 70cm
