AI Vega Settings? Color/Ramp Time/Ect...

whixley101 · Jan 24, 2013

I have owned my AI Vega's for about two weeks. My tank is primarily SPS with a few LPS that stay on the sand bed. I have 4 AI Vegas above a 180 with two 60' T5 fixtures as well. I am only running the T5's for about two hours a day.(Just during peak hours). My current setting is:
Sunrise 8 am (two hour ramp time)
White 60%
Blue 100%
Royal Blue 100%
Actinic Blue 100%
Red 30%
Green 50%
Sunset 6 pm (two hour ramp time)
T5 run from 1 pm to 3 pm
Lunar Cycle is Royal Blue at 1% that starts at 8 pm to 8 am.

Really new to the Red and Green color spectrum and would love to know some cause, effect, and experience. Any info is much appreciated.

Look in the LED specific forum. There is a thread about these. I have set mine to replicate dawn to dusk with a 4 hour ramp time. Maximum on white is 60%. Some of us started out higher and had issues. Personally, I have only had mine a couple of months and had to take them down temporarily to send one in for repair. (I am using my back up SOLS)
