AI prime 16 setting

[Hilltopreef90]

I have a AI prime 16 over my 28 gallon jbj cube
I have soft corals and lps
Can I get some advice on settings for the light
I have it set to what BRS suggests but it seems so bright ‍
any places I can download settings geared for my size tank and type coral

Yes, on AI's website they have some templates you can try out.

Yes just snag a template. You may want to edit the start and end times tho

There are a few facebook groups with setting recommendations.

I have the same light and the same tank, mostly LPS with a few SPS and softies. Here are my settings:

UV: 65%
V: 85%
RB: 95%
B: 95%
R: 4%
G: 4%
W: 20%
M: 0%
I have it ramp up and down for 2 hours and have a total photoperiod of 12 hours (so 8 hours at full intensity). All of my corals are doing great and have colored up nicely over the last couple months.

Both Waterbox Aquariums and World Wide Corals also have schedules posted on their sites.

I used the BRS settings at 90% before I added any coral but my montis did not seem to like it much so I switched to a modified Waterbox mixed reef schedule, just edited the start end times and ramp up/down. So far they seem fine with it although I have an orange monti cap that may be starting to complain. Keeping an eye on it.

Where did you find the Waterbox schedule?

About half way down the page for the Mini Peninsulas here there is section that says "My AI Blueprint" there you can select the blueprint that most closely matches your setup. I'm using the "Mixed Reef Only" blueprint.

Are the corals unhappy in the light or does it seem to bright to your own eyes? I used brs settings then dialed back the whites. My LPS are as happy as can be. 2 16s on. A RSR 200

Just seems very white and bright, I just upgraded and there’s only a couple soft corals it’s hard to tell if they’re happy yet

Try dialing back the white a bit. If you don't like it you. An always re configure it all
