I love LEDs, and hate LEDs... Ever since I got rid of ecoxotic pros, and upgraded to hydras, or radians, or maxspec... I have not been able to grow or keep coral colors..l now I'm on to ai primes 2 of them... Does my rbta look like its stretching for light?

Funny I'm running 2 ai primes and my rbt hides from them. I also have been having a very hard time getting the ai primes dialed in.. but I might also be feeding to light. What size tank do you have and what are the primes set at?

What spectrum are you running?... you may need more white to get an adequate PAR level. I'm running 5 Primes, on my 22" deep tank, with great growth from SPS etc. I run 1ok starting at noon and ramping up to 100% by 4:00pm. It continues to run 10k at 100% until 5:00pm and then switches over to 100% 13.5k from 5:00 - 8:00.... then ramps down 13.5K until my moonlight kicks in at midnight.

I would be more than happy to run some PAR tests on mine, if needed, for you. Just let me know what spectrum, percentage, distance BWL and the distance the fixtures are AWL on your setup and Ill run some tests.

I'm already seeing some growth on this Aussie Slimer and I have had this frag for less than 2 weeks.

What are your spectrums set at? Do you have any lps?
