ReefBreeders Meridian Schedules

[ROreefer]

Hi All,

I just purchased a Meridian 11 for my waterbox 25 peninsula. The light is set at roughly 11/12” above the waterline.

I’m looking for any light schedules that may be out there.

Thank you

There are some user schedules under the community tab. I started with @VintageReefer schedule and modified it. His schedule is under Coral_Collector_VR I have clams so I added more white and am currently at 350 par but increasing to get 500 par on the croceas when I'm done. Im using a par meter vs guessing. I tried guessing in the past and was light starving clams.
My 11 is over an IM 20

What percentage are you running? How deep is your tank?

 

[exnisstech]

Tank is 12" deep and the light is 10.5" above the water surface.
Percentages
Channel
1 - 52%
2 - 51%
3 - 50%
4 - 65%
5 - 50%
6 - 50 %

Its a young tank so still coming together.

EDIT: Zoas on bottom aren't opening fully so I suspect they would prefer less light but clams are the planned focal point so the zoas will adapt or I'll move them to another tank.

This is one I created. Full spectrum to start the day at 30% followed by all channels on set to 50% for 4 hours. After that it’s blues the rest of the day at 30% with whites at 0%. I run the edge bar at 30% only before and after peak intensity. Adjust intensity based on your tank needs/depth. Going to try this out and see how it does.

The edge bars are strong. Make sure you use a par meter
