Evergrow Lightning schedul/settings

Mitsie · Nov 23, 2019

Dear Reef2Reef,

I use a overgrow Lightning now for almost a year, but i can't really find a good schedule for my zoanthids. I live in the Netherlands but there is not much popularity about those lamps so nobody can help me out with this!

My tank is mainly zoanthids and is 135litres.
I cant find the right settings to let them pop out all the colors. So if anybody can help me out here to share a schedule i can even pay u some fee since i am that desperate.

Thanks for reading,

Kind Regards,

Mitch

Just picked up a used reefbreeders light from what I can tell it’s the same other than some of the spectrum has been switched around a bit using different leds. Though I cannot help you with settings as that tank isn’t wet yet I can say more blue less white makes my zoas pop. Although I have ones that pop just fine under whites as well. All I can say it play around with it till u get the desired effect. This pic is under heavy blues just for the photo.

Looks like these are the color options.
I would run green and red no more that 15 to 20 %
I would run all the blues at 70 to 80%
I would run the whites 20 to 30%
The purple at 40 to 50
and the uv about the same.
See how that looks and adjust from there.

Ill try those settings for a few weeks and see what will happen. Thanks for you reply!
