40gal breaded AI light settings

[ReefTom92]

New to the reef lifestyle and currently going through the cycling phase. Eventually I will add coral but first want to be sure my light settings are correct. Hoping someone could share their light settings with a similar setup. Mahalo

Welcome to Reef2Reef! Which AI lights are you using and how many?
There's always the ever popular AB+ schedule, next up would be the David Saxby schedule. Both look great and grow coral. On a 40 breeder i've personally used two hydra 26's with the AB+ schedule with success :)

I used David Saxby for the last month on my two Prime HD's and it seems to have improved the look of the tank.

Check out BRSTV channel on Youtube. They do a " 5 minutes" series about setting up a reef tank,in which they set up a 40B and a Redsea E170. They use 2 AI 16HD on the 40B, and, I think,they tell you what settings those light are on (for softies and LPS).
