Ai prime setting

[monday]

Hi everyone, I just got an Ai prime 16hd to go with my 20 gal tank. My schedule is a scaled down version of the ab+ setting please give me any suggestions.

What kind of corals are you planning to grow?

Mostly LPs/soft

I have a 15 gallon softie tank, mainly mushrooms and zoa’s, it is 12” depth tank, I keep my lights at 70%. 35% for blues on a 20 gallon is very low IMO

Ok thanks for the suggestion! Will apply

Would this be something that would be good?

Bring uv and v up to 70-80%

Here's mine if you want to use it for reference

I have a very similar set up to your original light schedule. I have a Prime HD over a 15 gallon cube. Mine is mounted 10 inches above the water. My mid tank rock work is at 125 par and 70 on the sand bed during the peak times. Just sharing since you were looking for ideas!

Be careful bringing the UV spectrum up too high they tend to burn out easily

Settings on my mixed reef. FWIW

Later in the light cycle when the whites back down
