Giesemann Aurora Light Settings

[myclang]

Hey all,

I'm wondering if any giesemann owners can share their lighting profiles with me. I've had my lights set up for a few months now, I'm just using "default 1", but am looking for a better profile that would suit SPS/LPS mixed tank.

Hoping there's some tried and true profiles I can download. I've searched these forums and Google, but can't seem to find any threads regarding actual settings.

I'm running my mixed reef mainly sps, using 2 blue+ and 2 coral+, I run my blue channels for 12 hrs 100% with 30 min ramp up/down, t5 100% for 8 hrs, and the white channel for 5 hrs at 90%. Inused a par meter to help me dial it in. My tank is 24 inch deep and my rockwork only goes up half way...hope that helps.

I added a couple of SB Reef bars a couple months ago

What the AWL (above water level) measurement on this? Can you post a screen of the settings and what was the reason to add additional lights to a $2000 fixture?

6inches awl, I wasn't happy with the par numbers so I added some more leds

How was SPS before adding the LEDs?

All the corals were grown from small frags with only the Aurora. I just felt the 180g needed a little more to reach it's full potential for a sps dominant mixed reef.

I was far underpowering my tank. I applied your settings last week. The corals are happier.
