Kessil A160 Light Schedules

[Mike's R33f]

Hey!

I noticed there really isn’t a very great recent thread for Kessil A160 light schedules.
I would love for people to share their schedule, along with tank information (size, types of corals, etc.) along with pictures.

If you have these lights, and have had great success, please share to help out your fellow Kessil Reefers!

I have a mixed reef about 6 months old in a 65g.



I am currently running the following 12 hour schedule with 3 hour ramp up and and 3 hour ramp down period and working on slowly ramping up my midpoint intensity to 100%:

9:55 - 0% - 0%
10:00 - 0% - 5%
13:00 - 25% - 60%
16:00 - 25% - 70%
19:00 - 25% - 60%
22:05 - 0% - 0%

I too would like to know more about kessil schedules. I have 2 A160s on my 75g and they used to be about a foot away from the surface. I noticed my acropora started bleaching so I wondered if it's not enough light. I lowered my lights to about 6 inches away from the surface now but I wonder if my schedule is too much.

8am clr 0 int 10
11am clr 40 int 40
1pm clr 65 int 80
3pm. clr 100 int 70
5pm clr 30 int 60
7pm clr 0 int 30
9pm. off

I have no idea what it's supposed to be. I was using the preset 1 and boosted a bit of intensity in the middle of the day. Without a par meter who knows.

It's mostly mushrooms, zoas, leathers and one acropora. (Green slimer) My hammer is not very happy at all.
