AI 25G- Prime HD16 white light help

[driftin]

I run my settings off the RY channel. Run UV, V, B at 86% of RY and CW at 20% of the RY. As lights ramp up and down over the day it keeps the colors pretty consistent. (I do drop our CW to 0 when they're below ~3% based on the calculation).
So for example at peak my lights are:
RY = 142
UV = 122
V = 122
B = 122
CW = 28

I do have peaks and valleys, similar to the lighting schedule set up by David Saxby.

During one of the deeper valleys they hit:
RY = 80
UV, V, B = 69
CW = 16

I have red and green flat at 4% for much of the day... probably not for any good reason. Red is a good algae-growing spectrum and I think also captured in the CW LED's, so I keep that channel really low.

Here is what I got if you can’t see everything let me know. It’s kinda standard till late Nate then everything goes crazy. Keep in mind I currently have the XHO at 66% from 2pm till 9pm. It does not add much par but gives me a little more pop and fades the tiny shadows I had

late Nate then everything goes crazy.

That is the past I can't mimic.
Did you adjust the settings when you added the XHO's?
Do you have a picture of the XHO mounted?

I could also send you mine if you want... I don't run my tank super blue but the coral definitely pop and it includes a moonlight with just blues that isn't blasting light and is great for night viewing.

Aren't the Moonlights on Primes a white light?

Someone on FB pointed out there is a firmware update that limits the levels to protect the lenses. I don't recall the limited level, but it is well under yours. I updated my firmware this morning. Haven't looked to see what changed.

Yea that’s what happens when I type after midnight. I did not adjust the primes when I put on the XHO. I will be turning it up another notch or two over the next month. The mounting bracket that comes with the XHO fits the prime hard mounts perfectly

XHO fits the prime hard mounts perfectly

Yes, it looks like it does.

Do you use the actinic or 50/50?

Yeah. I am actively avoiding any updates... I am exactly where I want to be with my Prime over my 15g nano.

If you like everything Whiter you won’t like my settings but I’ll throw them out there. I have had it like this for year and a half I think it works

Is there a way to download your setting?

Um I think I can send it to ya. I think I can text it or e mail it to you. When I hit share it goes into my contacts like I am sending e mail or text. I am not for sure what you need to do after that. Maybe a copy and paste? I think on Apple you can send it right to the AI app. I am willing to try, PM me your e mail or phone number and I’ll send it on over. I might of done this with someone else on here about a year ago and it worked if I recall. I’ll try to find it but it’s buried under a lot of posts
