Noopsyche K7 Mini Schedule

[Aaron75]

The usage of this light (Noopsyche K7 Mini) seems pretty large and seems to be expanding but the numbers might be deceiving. Do you think we can get a thread dedicated to custom schedules with qr codes. I just don't have a strong enough understanding yet of spectrums and necessities. I'd appreciate any input. Something with options to choose like:
-"acclimation"
-"softie"
-"lps"
-"sps"
-"modified ab+"
-"strong blue"
-"strong white"

Following. Need a good schedule for mine.

Would love any feedback. It’s on a IM15 with LPS & softies

Thank you for submitting this. Hopefully this can gain some traction and we can get some opinions on it.

I'll get my latest one when I get home. I made a somewhat Saxby schedule within the limitations of the 1-hr increments. I was planning to adjust the spectrum closer to AB+, but currently have Blues peaking at 50%, Violets at 50% and slowly increasing whites (think peaking at 18% currently). I've slowed down changing the spectrum, though, because a tank transfer is imminent and the corals all seem pretty stoked by the light as-is.

Same, it's good, I don't really have any complaints, but I'm sure some people have better schedules from a scientific or even anecdotal standpoint.

Thanks, can't wait to see what you're running!

Note that the 4th peak has to be further apart due to hitting the end of the 1 hr window. I think I started at 9:59 for the first peak, then 50 min between each point thereafter (10:49, 11:39, 12:29, 1:19, 2:09... But then to 3:39 instead of 3:59 to reduce time between pts and allow for two more peaks.

The actual Saxby schedule has much tighter peaks, but this isn't too bad and allows for some variation in intensity during the day.

There are a lot that are, myself included!

I have some SPS do you think these schedules will work?

I’m using this, any suggestions if I have Anacropora Montipora and bird nest corals?

I just got a parwise, so I will be taking measurements in the near future. For monti and birdsnest (no idea with anacropora), I think you could ramp up the white a bit more over a week or two, but I will check. Another post showed the PAR contribution per channel and the blue channel had by far the most impact per %, so I'd go slow increasing that channel.

Let me know how it goes. I’m going to slowly raise the levels but will use the schedule you built for a couples before tweaking

FYI, for any of you Noopers that are a bit frustrated by how short the flex arm is (especially for peninsula nanos/midsize AIOs), here's my quick 'n dirty solution:

Quick fix: Noopsyche Mini Flex Arm Bracket too short for your AIO?

Hi all, Just sharing the problem I have with my Noopsyche K7 minis, which I decided to use for my nanos and now my 40L. Great little light, but what bothers me is this: The flex arm doesn't reach to the middle of a tank when attached to the back glass of an AIO, despite being optimal for an...

I was using weak light and just switched it to the K7 mini , are these settings good for my corals to adapt with the new light?

what was your previous light and what intensities was it running? K7 at 50/50/50 is actually quite strong, so you'd want to avoid burning your corals if they haven't been receiving as much light.
