Kessil Spectral Controller lighting schedules.

[Fat Panda]

Hello everyone. I Currently using a Kessil A360we on my 20g Tall mixed reed tank. I am new to lighting schedules and have set one up that is safe.

My question to everyone is what lighting schedules are you using. im looking to update mine. if you dont mind please post up your specific schedules. i would love to test out some new ones.
I know that the spectral controllers are pretty new to the market but i know im not the only one that has em.

Looking forward to seeing pics of your tanks and lighting schedules you have.

Happy Reefing everyone

I have my scheduled on a 10 hour day. Starting at 0% color 5% intensity ramping up for 2 hours to 60% Color 80% intensity for 6 hours and then 2 hours back down to 5% intensity and 0% color.

Hey Finaddict/ Fat Panda,

Any one seeing good results with the previous mentioned lighting schedule? or have new one that is working great. Please share as my current one seems to be not so effective. This is on a 40 gallon breeder/ one side of tank has a AI hydra (40%white,80%blues, Red/green 35%, UV 25%) ai side of tank doing great, kessil side has mostly zoas (not doing as great). Please help.

i started out with Finnaddicts schedule. and it worked great. i modified mine a little later on after i felt my corals got used to the light intensity. a few hours after getting to the 60% color and 80% intensity i ramped it up another hour to 80% color to 100% intensity then 2 hour ramp down to 0% 0%.

choose the times of day that works best for you. i am more of a night owl so i have my lighting schedule stay start and end later in the day. so i can enjoy it better. hope this helps.

thanks it does;however, the YouTube community is thinkng just run the I hydra on the tank vs both so imma go back to the single hydra fixture.
