Hi Guys,
I recently got an AI Prime and I am looking for advice/suggestions on fine tuning it. I pretty much went with the standard settings which had all lights at 60%. Initially, I started it at only a couple of hours a day and gradually increased it a little every few days. I'm now running with a ramp up and down time for 2 hours and the main time is only 4 hours. (total of 8 hours)
My previous light was just the crappy stock light that comes with the Fluval EVO and half of the blue LEDs were out for at least a couple of months. I wanted to give the tank time to acclimate to the newer, more intense, full spectrum light. I've had it almost a month now.
I've got it mounted 8" above the water and I'm keeping nothing but soft corals, mostly zoas and some misc polyps. (not to mention a dozen types of algae) I know there are popular "profiles" that you can download but I have no idea what I am doing.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
