Aqua Illumination Nano

[DaLee30]

I am new to LED lighting...I just hung an AI nano over my biocube 14... The light is hanging 6 inches above the water. I currently have it set to ramp up/down over 4 hours with the tank getting max lighting for 8 hours at 20% (white, blue, and royal.) I have mainly zoas in the tank currently and one clown fish and one ruby red dragonet. Does anyone have any experience with this lighting unit?

I plan on bumping the max up by a couple percent every couple day until I notice some changes in the coral. About 60% of the zoas will open up during the day when the tank is at max lighting.

I will put up some pictures of the zoas when they are opened up a little later, the picture I attached now are are during the ramping down time..

Update On this still looking for some advice on how to go about adjusting my levels...I have worked the lighting up from 20% on all three (white, blue, royal) due to the fact that i noticed many of the polyps and zoas seemed to be reaching/not opening all the way...The last two days I had it at 30% on all three with noticeable differences, it seems like the zoas have opened up...I have it set for tomorrow at White 30% Blue 35% and Royal 35%.

Any advice on how to know when the lighting is at adequate levels?

Both Blue channels up by 5% a day.. White at 5% a week.. U til your at about 70%/70%/40% ( b/b/w/) .. Rule of thumb I've always followed with leds
