Help with prime hd 16 settings please!

[JesseLikesHondas]

I just bought 2 prime 16 HD’s for my 30” L x 17” W x 19” H tank. (40 gallons). I am trying to have a mixed tank with LPS softies mainly with a FEW SPS. (Maybe 3-4 max) I am wondering what settings I should use! I put the AB+ settings but I am confused on the additional “moonlight” setting. Can someone please help me with this?

Set your blue(s) to 3 - 10 percent for the time period. If you want the app to modulate the intensity turn on the lunar setting.
If your lights are set for 10% for nighttime, during a crescent (quarter) moon it will reduce the lights to 2.5% and during a full moon the lights will be full 10%. If the lunar setting is off the lights will be 10% every night.

Thanks for this information as it was very useful for setting that effect but I was wondering about the “moonlight channel”. It has a value (intensity) I can adjust.

The control has changed since I last used it. From what I read on AI website you set the max intensity percent of the moonlight channel and the control will adjust the intensity as described earlier. If you want to control the moonlight amount yourself and it stay the same every night, set the moonlight channel to zero, then set your moonlight timeframe and adjust the blue(s) to you desired nighttime setting.

Kinda miss them ol’ 26s.....

You’re welcome.
Switched to Radion XR15s from the AI 26HDs. I can’t say that ones better than the other though. Still have a lot of the AI profiles “just in case”.
