AI prime lighting

Christiang7866 · Nov 10, 2020

I had a pet crappy light on my 15 gallon nano reef for a little then I upgraded to the ai prime 16 hd and my bubble tip anemone seems to be turning white and my other corals seem to be getting bleached as well. I am not sure on what the spectrum should be on and I need some advice on what to keep my levels on as well and how long to run it for. I will provide pictures if needed. It is a mixed reef aquarium. And my bubble tip shrinks up almost every nights and I’ve had my water tested a lot and can’t figure out what’s making it upset.

You can download preset lighting schedules on Aqua Illumination's site. Once you download the one you want, you upload it to your AI app to set the schedule for your tank's light.

Bubble tips always shrink up every night when they go into rest mode.

That is indeed normal for a bubble tip

Did you go straight from a crappy light to a full power prime?
Did you use the acclimatization mode?
Did you use a par meter?

My lights are on for 11 hours, but with a 3 hour ramp-up and down so only 5 hours of full power
