AI HD Light Settings

[Brooks Ross]

10 hour total photo period (10am-8pm)
1 and half hours ramp up and ramp down time

I changed the settings right after I made this post pretty much.

I saw the new BRStv post. These are the settings they are running. They were testing the AI lights to run similar to the ecolab lights.

The new setting strengths seemed like a lot at first but the corals have actually had more growth it seems with these settings and no signs of it being too much light.

Is this good for just sos though? What about a tank with sps, lps and anemones

What do you have in your tank?

Why does The BRSTV video say to have UV and V over 100^

Here’s an update of the tank with the lighting schedule. You can see decent growth in all coral lps mainly.

I recently added three montipora caps in the middle of the tank. There is a yellow green and purple monti. They have all been in the tank for about a month now and look healthy and are showing growth.

My tank is only 12” deep and everything seems to be happy

Mixed reef, with LPS, SPS, anemones.

I only ask because it seems 115% is very strong

Does this look better ?

I have the peak and valleys, there for the blues are not 115% all the time.

FWIW, I switched my settings to the BRS settings 2 months ago. Since doing that my coral colors have noticeably improved and appear to continually improve.

Did that negatively affect anything else in your tank?

I’m just a little worried to have my UV and V blasting at 110%+

Everything is better. On my other tank I have a Kessil Blue tuna, I'll like the AI lights better.

I have my uv violets royals and blues all at max and my corals are doing great.

Ok thanks for the help

I decided to switch back to the David Saxby schedule.
I adjusted the UV down to my liking. Its the only spectrum I changed.

Following. I've used something similar to the picture below for the past year with good results. Switching over to BRS tv AB+ clone today to see how that goes.

Here’s an update photo to show the growth over the past 5 months with the BRS light settings
