Yes and tweak if neededNew
Old
Should this be ok it’s a small adjustment
I’m planning to over time have that 1:8:1 ratio for my lighting
Does it matter where I make the adjustments as long as there not to bigYes and tweak if needed
Yes lights are on short schedule from what I see. Adjustments to blue and violet if neededWait am I special or am I looking at my old schedule and seeing lights are only on at max for a hour and a half
For the Fluval lights the consensus is crank the purple, blue, and cyan (spectrums most used by the corals). If memory serves these lights are disproportionally white, at least when compared to other lights and "ideal lighting". I tend to run my Fluval lights a little whiter than most, but only cause I am trying to get more PAR out of them.Ok I’m thinking of making a adjustment don’t worry so far my corals haven’t gone through any changes yet but here is what I’m thinking
My old time was
11:00 - 3:00 4 hours of Ramp
3:00 - 4:30 1 hour 30 of max
4:30 - 7:00 2 hours and 30 mins of Ramp down ????????
Something doesn’t seem right if that is true, how did my corals survive
What I’m planning for my new would be maybe
10:30 - 11:30 Ramp
11:30 - 6:30 Max
6:30 - 7:30 Ramp down
If that is OK, what adjustment should I make to my blue and violet, and why
How does my new timing look after I make slow adjustments over timeFor the Fluval lights the consensus is crank the purple, blue, and cyan (spectrums most used by the corals).

Great little lights though!
And just out of curiosity could I see how your corals look and what type you haveYeah running from 1400 - 1700. . . so 3 hours at max.
I run my fluval lights 1:10:1, purple, blue, and cyan at or near max, red near 20, and white at like 65. . . working off memory here but should be close.

Also, check out this thread:How does my new timing look after I make slow adjustments over time
I think it's fine, though as I said earlier I would probably make bigger changes faster personally, but I guess nothing wrong with taking it slow as long as your current corals are happy.
What type of corals are you planning to keep?
What intensity changes should I make?Look like they are doing fine, I see nothing wrong with slowly ramping up to the intensity and to the 1:8:1 schedule.
Also careful with that BTA could take over!!!
I would personally push the blue to 100%, probably the cyan as well, then white to at least 50% but then again my tank and corals are different than yours. How deep is your tank?What intensity changes should I make?
