Aquaillumination schedule screenshots

Jon Tepper · Aug 10, 2016

I just got a pair of AI Vegas and I'm curious as to what people have their shedules like. The previous owner of the lights had a really nice schedule, but lots of 100% intensity settings, so I factory reset them. I just switched from 4 power compacts, so I didn't want to go too intense right off the bat. Basically I'm running them in easy setup mode right now with all colors on 45% intensity with a 2 hour ramp up and a 2 hour down at night.

I have the reds at 0% because they make the most annoying noise (see other post of mine with video)

I've got just some pretty normal stuff in my 100 gallon tank: bubble tip anemone, cactus coral, a couple hammers, some mushrooms, waving hands, green leather toadstool, green button polyps, and fish. Nothing too crazy. I just got into reefing, my fiancé used to back in Ohio with T6s so LEDS are a whole new world for us.

I'd love to hear some recommendations. Maybe see some screenshots. And let me know how often I should be increasing intensities because I don't want to shock or bleach out my corals.

Thanks in advance for any help or insight you guys could only!

You can search the forums for AI Prime or AI Hydra and you should be able to pull up lots of examples. Here's mine

Does the Vega not have an acclimation mode? My prime's have an automated acclimation where you set the initial reduction % and the end date and it ramps it up over that period of days/weeks.

It has acclimation mode. I just bought them, so all if it's new to me. I'm waiting on replacement pucks and drivers from AI. The 45% has been working nicely, so I'm thinking maybe put in acclimation mode some time next week once I get my red pucks replaced.

How long should I set my acclimation mode for? I'm new to the LED world
