AI Prime HD advice

[E_williamson1597]

I just upgraded from a current marine orbit LED to a AI Prime HD on my 20 gallon innovative marine tank. I've been trying to research settings and decide what/how to run the light at. Currently I set it to the BRS ab+ and have it on 50% acclimation mode for the next month. The tank is all LPS and softies with no SPS. Does anyone have advice on if this is a good setting for these corals or is this too much?

Settings:
UV 119%
Violet 116%
Royal 79%
Blue 80%
Green 4%
Deep Red 4%
Cool White 19%

0600-0800 blue goes to 4% then at 0800 all ramp up for 2 hours, 1000-1800 runs at above settings then ramps down from 1800-2000, blue at 4% from 2000-2200.

i tried the BRS ab+ and my corals seem not to be happy (LPS and SPS). I have since customize my schedule with higher blues, less uv no greens or reds and 9% whites for 5 hrs.

That is what I run on my Fluval 13.5. I have not checked the Par yet. But I have the light 8 inches off the water. Tank is 18 inches tall. I keep everything on the sand. SPS is on a rack about 1/2 way up. Keeping Acro's and Stylo's. Up there. You just have one Prime?

I have a very similar setup as you; 13 gal nano, all LPS/softie. I have the AI Prime as well. I ended up downloading David Saxby's light schedule from the AI website. However, I did modify it to reduce the cool white a bit, and set acclimation to 50%. Corals are doing great, lots of new growth

I have a similar setting. It’s Saxby setting with way less white. I keep it at about 25% acclimate. two primes over a reefer 170. I have have way better growth with this over the modified AB+ I ran for 5 months.

are you in the ai prime/hydra group on facebook? there's a ton of presets on there to download and try out. seems a lot of people enjoy the pirates of the Caribbean setting for lps dominant type tanks

There’s some good settings that you can download off of AIs website under their signature series. Run. Saxby or Vazquez. Realistically download all of the profiles and try them all.
