AliExpress A8SE Reef Light

[Aaron75]

Hi guys! would really appreciate if u can post your led schedule here, as i am a new reefer and this is my first saltwater tank. I currently have SPS mostly with LPS corals, and have the a8se ii Blue and leaning more of a blue look, but do post if its not as blue also so i can further tinker to my taste. I also like more color pop look on my corals. do post them with the QR code!
Thanks! :)

Stock AB+ stretched out a couple hours

Mine is just plus a couple hours and slight adjustments to ab.

Can someone replicate WWC shedule? im having a difficult time programming from scratch, the app schedule just restarts and the led disconnect mid programming.
its also a good idea, because then we have a additional program to share to fellow reefers, i dont think their profile can be pasted directly to this app, and only opens the schedule on Mobius!

I’m on first day with these bad boys, 4 a8 pro blues. Obviously as easy to setup as the radion x6 blues we have but got them to work. All went well till I linked them. Can’t get two of the light to connect again they are locked out for some reason or wont connect. Does any else give up on linking them? Seems its finicky but it could just be mine.

Power cycle them and see if that does it.

Thank. I did unplug and replay in and it still didn’t work. Not sure if I have to hold power button while plugging in power similar to ai blades.

Yes. I think it's like 3 seconds and they startup cycle

 

[brad65ford]

Thank you I will give it a go when I get back. The whole time things a little strange as well. I think I figured it out lol did you link yours?

 

[brad65ford]

Got 2 to reset but for the life of me, I can’t get the other two to reset where it goes into the multi flashing colors no matter what I do I can’t reset these

If anyone knows how to reset these ab pro blues please let me know. I'm not sure if it needs hours for it to be unplugged but I've tried many times by unplugging and holding the middle button, but nothing is flashing like it did prior. Its as if its locked out.

Scratch that, seems you do have to delete it from the app, as if it does go back to a server or something, worked. I already do not trust the auto timer on these things and i believe after reading it does loss timing if it drops electric or internet/wifi is that correct? That app works fine and very simple which might be a good thing. Not sure how high to hang these 4 over our 200g system, right now they re 5 1/2" above the water since I dislike looking at the bright lights from the led themselves. Running AB= at 50% blues seeing 250-275 par at mid tank.

Hi, sorry, but how much par does an A8SE Max Blue provide to the tank? Can I explain better, a single lamp when it develops? Does it need additional light integration?

Привіт усім! Був би дуже вдячний, якби ви опублікували тут свій графік використання світлодіодів, оскільки я новачок у рифовому акваріумі, і це мій перший морський акваріум. Зараз у мене SPS, переважно з LPS-коралами, а також a8se ii Blue, який більше нахиляється до блакитного кольору, але будь ласка, опублікуйте, якщо він не такий блакитний, щоб я міг ще трохи попрацювати на свій смак. Мені також подобається більше яскравих кольорів на моїх коралах. Будь ласка, опублікуйте їх разом із QR-кодом!
Дякую! :)

I just got these guys put on my tank a few days ago. Love the color and par but my gosh this app is killing me. The lights seem to turn on at least 30 mins before they're set to and after they're supposed to turn off. They're set to turn on at 1pm, but it's currently 12:30 pm and they're on and they stayed on past when they're set to turn off last night. 12:00 sliders are all at zero percent. Is there an automatic ramp up or something? Timezone is set correctly and displaying my correct time.

Yes, there's an automatic 1 hour ramp at both ends. You can extend the ramp by manually adding in between points, but I don't know if there's any way to eliminate the ramp altogether.

Thanks! I don't mind the ramp, but it was driving me bonkers not knowing what was going on.

Well its a sad day in my tank. Mine just crapped out after a year. I was looking at my tank just now and it flickered and turned off. So I thought a restart might help it out. After unplugging it and tried to restart it with no luck. Even my phone is not picking it up. But I guess I will unplug it for awhile then plug it back in to see if that might reset it. If not it was nice while it lasted with great colors and power because everything seemed to be growing good.

This exact thing happened to me when I first got the A8 Pro Blues. I tried linking all 3 and I thought I bricked them. They would not reset or respond. The only work around for me was to completely remove them from power for like an hour. I plugged them back in and they all reset like normal. My theory is the capacitors on the pcb are storing a small amount of power after shutting down and needs time to leak power.

I've only had these lights roughly 2 weeks. One of them several times today appears to be losing connection and will turn off, turn on to the default color spectrum, and then change to the set color spectrum. Is this a sign of bad things to come?
