light setting

[Corwyn]

Reef Breeders 24" Photon V2+
SO I pickup one of these to replace my Hydra AI 32. I have dozens of files for the HD and 100os on line,
I cant seem to find any info on ideal setting for this light and I can not seem to dial it in. IT's creating huge algea blooms nad burning my SPS!!

any one have a resource for a mixed reef with not full on blue but not white settings?

I copied the radion ab+ spectrum at 25% nothing is burning and algea is in check

Thanks for your post. I'm admittedly a little dense on this stuff. Can you by any chance link o the radion and explain what you mean by 25%? I am not sure I understand what people are referring to when they say that or talk about max at 50% (what ever number)

Do you literally mean that if the original radion ab+ for channel one says80% you set the breeder to 20%?

sorry for the stupid q

What settings are you using? How high is the light mounted?

Oh Also, I cant seem to find any info what are all the greyed out icons are and how to access them on the remote left side- right of the custom sunny cloudy moon icons?

This is the ab+ I just put 25% of the number into the appropriate color on the v2

your only running blues at 25%?

Yup and the coral all shows good poylop extension and it's all growning

 

[Fishfinder]

I run 60% blue, 18% white on my tank.

I've been running this setting for about 6 months with good growth and coloration for my Zoas and Trumpet.

But I am going to reduce intensity because I have a ton of green hair algae now and I also want to enjoy the blues in the later evening. Going to try this out:

If anyone has tips on these schedules please let us know!

The other think I think might be helpful for people is what size light and how far above the water level do you have your light?

 

[Fishfinder]

I’ve got 4 of the 32” lights. Mounted 16” above my water line. Set at 70% blues, 20% white

I am also looking for a good setting
I have a 4 foot 24 deep light is 12 to 13 off the water i have mostly hammers and plate corals LPS, anemones
No sps
Great Light but annoying to set !

I run 70% blue 20% white. Tune it down a little from that. Maybe 60% and 15%. Just find a color that looks pleasing to the eye and leave it alone.
