Opinions on my rock scape and coral placement!

If I order 2 strips what’s necessary for the separate options such as power supply, dimmer and sunset?

Just depends on what you are looking to do. You will only need one power because they can be daisy chained together. If you plan on keeping that setup for a while go with the dimmer and timer.

Looks very nice I think. It’s hard to aquascape a smaller tank in my opinion as I am finding out rescaping mine

So I received the order of the strips and got a power supply and dimmer and timer. But I’m confused because the power supply came with an end that doesn’t connect to the lights

The 3 pronged end should go into the power supply pack

That's the wire for the second channel. I believe that's a sunsetter controller? If so I'm familiar with them.

The one hanging loose. The one your holding goes in the supply. The loose one looks supply to the timer. Good luck.

It didn’t come with one? That’s why I’m confused. & I bought one to add on.

Did you add the Power pack?

It connects to this power supply. Do you have that

I do not have it and I requested everything that were options. All three of these

I just found the power pack thing on the website. Just bought it. I had no idea it was needed

That’s frustrating getting new stuff and not being able to fire it up. Hopefully they ship it fast. You will love the light.

Right? It’s almost here now. But I have a question. How fast did you ramp them up and what did you start with? Like time schedule

You don’t have many corals right? You could start at 50% and be at 100% over 10 days. Keep an eye on your nem and corals But would gu they are going to enjoy the extra par.

your day schedule is Up to you but most keep around 10 hours with an hour ramp in the morning and night.

my lights are on from 7am to 10 pm but the intensity is very low the first 2 and last 2 hours of the day.

I have 3 new coral frags coming in today and 4 coming Thursday. So I’ll have 12 plus my bta and 2 rfa’s. Lps+softie tank. So you think it will be safe to add 5% intensity everyday?

Good to go. Just keep an eye on the corals
