Kessil A80 Help!!

[SouthernBroFish]

Anyone have a Kessil A80 on their nano tank? Just picked up a new A80 to upgrade the lighting for my nano take. Curious to know what are your percentage settings to make your zoanthids/LPS colors pop?

I’d start at 50% intensity and go from there. With kessils I never go above 25% color and my corals are super vivid.

I have a tank with 360x’s and a tank with 360we’s. The spectrum is very similar on the A80 as the 360we.

I currently have a single a80 on my 20 long, i got some good growth out of challace corals but have not had much luck with anything else. Ive got it set to peak around 50% color and 50% mid day with a 10 hour schedule.
Ive been getting alot of GHA growth though, any tips?

Nice. Personally I’d turn the color down to no more than 25%, and I’d crank the intensity all the way up over a few weeks. Gha could just be part of the uglies if it’s a new tank but the whiter spectrum of your light settings isn’t helping.

I transferred to this tank about 6 months ago, but my nitrites recently just spiked. I was thinking about going more blue on the color to try and combat the GHA (along with 20% weekly water changed). Any idea how changing the color will effect my corals? I like it on the blue setting a lot more.

They will be more vibrant and fluoresce more.
