AI Fuge light and refugium

[JustinMN18]

Hello,

Can someone give me some advice on refugium lighting for my AI Fuge light and chaeto?

I'm really trying to learn height from water, AI time settings, intensity, and spectrum. I've had a hard time finding this info using google.

Thanks!

I went off of BRS- 100% on spectrum, 100% on intensity and run reverse photo period about 7” off the water

So you go full blast on everything?

Full blast is right, good thing is you can adjust it down if needed. Start at like 60 percent across the spectrum and go from there

Awesome, thank you for that information! You've had good growth and nutrient management with chaeto?

Yes, I run triton though. I’ve had to take my Fuge offline a couple times do to nutrients getting low. I slam my tank with food now and keeps it at .05 phosphates and 5-10 nitrates. I really just judge off of the coral and algae on glass these days

You'll want more par than in the DT if I remember, I'd go with the 100% 7" off the water.

Awesome info, thanks for the information. Very helpful. I'll work on adjusting my system to give that type of setup a shot.
