Kessil A160WE settings

[Tonii]

Good morning guys,

Just ordered two Kessil A160WE with the controller for my Fluval M90. I've had the Fluval full spectrum sea and marine led for the past 6 months. I was hoping to get some advice on how to set the lights, times and brightest.

Thanks

start with low intensity.
i had my 360 wayyy too high mine now max the cycle out at 45% intensity on a 60g cube. (24" deep)
start low and increase over time little by little

How long is your cycles? At what time should it start and end?

I run a 12 hour light cycle.

9:00AM Color: 0 Intensity: 10
11:00AM Color: 25 Intensity: 30
1:00PM Color: 45 Intensity: 45
4:00PM Color 45 Intensity: 45
7:00 PM Color: 25 Intensity: 30
9:00PM Color: 0 Intensity: 0

a little less white, still aesthetically pleasing to the eye and not overly blue.

just recently (a week ago or less) I was ramping up to 65% intensity and my LPS was suffering. (this tank has only been about for 2 1/2 months)
I backed it to down to the 45% mark and everything looks happy.

agreed fully. mine runs bluer than I thought id originally like it, but its made my sps really grow so ill leave it. confirmed bluer is safer and lower intensity on up. im about 50 % as well

How far up do they have to be from the top of the tank?

How far up do they have to be from the top of the tank?

Mine is about 9ish inches from the surface
