Looking for a light schedule for a mixed reef tank for my ap9x . Starting point or someone who already has a schedule. Thanks

12 hours on/off with a color-setting that is preferable to you is the goal.

Kessil takes the other guesswork out of it.....that's why we love them!!

Just modify their tune blue schedule to your color preference. I usually do 12hr total cycle with 2hr ramp up/down. I always use the violet channel and match it to the intensity. Red and green between 5-15% depending if you're running a more natural daylight spectrum or blue. The intensity is based on your corals needs, so rent or borrow a par meter. If you can't find/use one, then start at 20-30% and move up 5% a week until you reach the right intensity. If you're not sure, post a full tank shot (FTS) so we can see your corals and we'll be able to help. Please use a filter when posting pictures, as blue led pics are horrible for detail. Kessil logic works, it's one of the few "pre-programmed" features that actually works in the real world and not some marketing BS.
