Hello all! I have been in the hobby for about a little over a year now and am looking into getting a mixed reef, I didn’t know what light settings to use for an ai prime on a small 15 gallon cube tank, or is there anywhere you all recommend to learn about light settings so I can get this right?

i have the blues set at 80% and the whites at 20% on my prime on my 15 gallon tank. You can check out the AI website, they have some pre-configured light settings that you can download.

Agreed with above, I'd start with one of their presets and modify to your liking!

I am currently running the David saxby light preset, I want to be able to move the lights up more than 80%. With the presets you can adjust these sliders without a crap ton of work. I didnt know if anyone had made there own they had success with or had an idea where to go to learn how to do this.

I would run first 4 at 100% and the last 3 at 50%.
2 16hds over my old 18" cube worked well and would grow anything on those settings.
My old 20g 18" nano cube.
