G6 for nano 13g?

[H.E. Pennypacker]

When you say right under light would you say it’s directly under water surface? Or a few inches down?

My water height is 11.5", and the light sits 8.25" above that on the RMS arm mount. So the initial readings are 13.75" down from light, and second are 16.75" down from light.

I could measure right under water surface if that makes it easier for you to set PAR.

I have a 2hr ramp both up and down with schedule intensity at 35%. All channels at 100 except red, green at 15 and ww at 50. But yeah it goes black a few minutes early, I just assumed the leds go off at say 1 or 2% but I don’t know. Mobius has been mostly fine for me, sometimes it doesn’t want to connect but it’s not all the time. I restart the app and it’s fine.

Also, mine is a G6 Pro. I like a whiter spectrum so I didn’t do the blue.

Thanks again, huge relief for me. Did not want to send in the light and be 2 weeks without one, only to find the new one does the same thing.

I had build a spreadsheet when troubleshooting and for 35% on 120 minutes each channel decreases 0.292% per minute. So @ the 112 minute mark your lights hit 2% and switches to 1% @ 115. So your lights probably turn off 5-8 minutes early.

Was in the same boat for my 20g knowing that being upgraded to a 40 cube at some point therefore went with the G6 Pro not being a fan of all blue and prefer that old school halide or VHO. No regrets and Möbius only been an issue once. Knock on wood

I found the blue isn't blue enough for me when on full spectrum ha :)

Have you noticed your lights turn off early on ramp down?

Don't recall and wasn't paying attention. Tank dismantled past month but I'll check that out soon enough.

No, that’s perfect! Thank you for doing that for me. I just set my schedule intensity to 50% with a 30 day acclimation from current %.

Edit: 60% intensity with a 60 day acclimation. Also just posted a thread looking for others input on intensity with this specific light over a 20g.

planning on it being the backup in storage, never know if will need!
