[oscarbarcenas122]

he needed help finding the photoperiod for my Kessil a360w since zoas corals have lost color and do not grow. my current program is this. color. 5 5 intensity 9am. 60 1:00 p.m. 30 color intensity. Color 70 60 3 p.m. intensity. 70 60 4:00 p.m. Color intensity. 60 7:00 p.m. 20 color intensity. Color 0 0 9 p.m. intensity. as you can see my program?

Bump. What is your water parameters?

there are probably other problems, but seems like you have a pretty hard hit first thing in the morning. The setting curve should be somewhat like a bell-ish shape. So ease up on the intensity in the morning.. ramp to a peak midday, then back down. I run my A360WEs 0900-2100 also. Start from a very low % like around 20 in the morning up to 80% midday. Color I keep on the blue side maybe maxing at 35% midday, but corals will grow either way. When I add more white, just seems like algae grows on the glass faster.. I don't know the trick to zoas because mine seem to grow in spurts, then nothing for a few weeks..meanwhile things like my stylo grows like 1-2mm during the same time period
