I just got an AI blade white today. I have been messing around with the schedule and saw in the my AI app that people can post the links to share their schedules. I was wondering if I would be willing to share their schedules so I could check out some different ones and compare them to my customized schedule and see how I like it. Upload a picture or video of your tank while you’re at it just show them off !
 
I don't know - would you be willing to share your schedule? :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Sure lol I came up with it on the fly and have no idea if it’s good

You can go to ai’s web site. Look for signatures series scroll to the bottom of page
 
Or just run both blues at 100% white @40%for 8-10 hours. That’s what I do with my 2 blades
 
The only one that I've found so far is Dmitry Tumanov's, who is Treasure Corals (search for his youtube). He was an early adopter and went with only Grows over his tanks.

I'm surprised there aren’t more preset schedules available for this, but I understand since it only involves three channels. I recently picked up my first Blade Grow, and I really like it. While you can use other AI preset schedules, they tend to be too blue compared to an AI Prime. It seems like you need to increase the white channels by about 40% to achieve a similar look.
 
BRS had a good video on lighting and a good spectrum for a glow/grow mix. I made up this version in Mobius, only running it for a few weeks so can not speak to effectiveness

Nice will check it out. Didn’t want to purchase a glow just yet but wanted more pop so added a 160 Kessil I had laying around. The combo is pretty bad$$$ looking to my eyes. I do like these lights more so then the ai 16hd primes as do the corals but granted it’s only a 22g shallow so I don’t need a ton of light

Wondering if anyone might have a starting point for settings on the 12" Coral Grow Blade when used to replace stock lights on a Fluval 13.5g Evo.
 
IMHO, go easy on the RB's these are powerful. Depending on your systems age, would hit the blues hard and RB & W's 30% give or take. This has work well for me, though all tanks are different. The confusion with the human eye is that the RB's don't look bright but provide the most energy for corals so it can be to much if you know what I mean. So use the B to bring up the brightness. Again just my take on it.
