Awkward Question: AI Prime 16 HD WB25

[Camaronero]

Good evening,
No drama, no stress, trying to keep things simple.
Background:
Barebottom Aquarium=> Waterbox 25 Peninsula with the 18 inch flex arm for the AI Prime 16HD.
Livestock=> No coral yet.

Question: My end game coral is a Koji Wada Pink Nepthea (skipping on all LPS and SPS) and after doing research, their lighting requirements are somewhere along the lines of 50-150 par, is there anyone with Prime 16 settings that are on the lower end of the spectrum (I don’t want to put a lot of strain on the light)?????

At about 75% max according to the spectrum you run, you should get about 150 par +/- four inches below the light if it is 9 inches above the waters surface.

I run a modified Saxby spectrum.

At about 75% max according to the spectrum you run, you should get about 150 par +/- four inches below the light if it is 9 inches above the waters surface.

Wait, so let’s say I decide to go with this BRS setup; would I decrease everything over %75 to %75 and leave anything under that percentage the same? Or would I have to do the math and set it up according to the ratios?

 

[MrGisonni]

You set the spectrum components then from the main screen you use two fingers and drag your peak lighting time " high noon" down. Your settings stay the same but your intensity is lower. Cut back that red from the brs settings imho
