Kessile A360x Lighting Schedule Help for 90 Gallon Tank

[CJ Monty]

I have a 90 gallon 3'x2'x2' tank with 2 A360x. Currently they are spaced evenly out. A foot from each edge of the tank and in 12" from the back of the tank (middle depth wise). Lights are about 6 inches of the water surface. I found this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/kessil-a360x-lighting-schedules-thread.525261/ and followed that lighting schedule. At the peak it seems very bright to me. Maybe having 2 on a 3 foot tank means I have to lower the intensity a bit? Looking for some advice being a fairly new reefer.

Schedule from other thread in case you dont feel like clicking:

5:00am Clr=0, Int=1, Vi=0 R=0, G=0

9:00am Clr=10, Int=30, Vi=10 R=5, G=5

12:00pm Clr=30, Int=70, Vi=70 R=15, G=15

2:30pm Clr=50, Int=80, Vi=80 R=15, G=15

5:00pm Clr=30, Int=70, Vi=70 R=15, G=15

7:00pm Clr=0, Int=10, Vi=5 R=0, G=0

8:00pm Clr=0, Int=1, Vi=0 R=0, G=0

10:00pm Clr=0, Int=0, Vi=0 R=0, G=0

@Crabs McJones is pretty good with kessils.

Looking pretty good. You may be able to bump intensity up a bit being 2 ft deep. I found that 70% intensity on a 17" tall tank gave me 250-300 par all over the tank, but that was with A360WE's

Thanks didnt know if having 2 on a 3 foot tank vs a 4 foot made any difference. Since they are suppose to cover 2 feet each the middle foot of my tank is getting light from both as oppose to a 4 foot where the coverage would not overlap.

I was thinking of removing the red. Someone mentioned red is what really makes algae really grow.

It also makes corals pop a little more. If you notice algae growth you can dial it back I had 2 on my 3 foot tank and they did great

Just upgraded from the A360 we's too the A360x's just set up a quick program for now similar too my old one with the violet on ...but I've not added any green or red yet into the equation...but I'm already very pleased with them ...now too find the sweet spot...!
