I have a tank filled with macro algae and corals. I’m wondering, does anyone know how to replicate full spectrum using the AI Prime 16HD? My spectrum settings are close to what bulkreefsupply recommends, but they are dialed back in intensity. However, my macro algaes started to die under this. So I’m trying for the third time to find the right lighting for them

What do you mean by full spectrum?
If you want to emulate "daylight" just use rgb in equal amounts and white .

If you are running brs "ab+" the high blue violet ratio may not be liked by the macros though to be honest I' m surprised it is err " horrible" for them.

Besides intensity what exactly are your channels set at?
What size to tank and dimensions?
How many ai's?

It’s a 25 gallon tank with one AI. The light is mounted at 11” height

My red and greens were both at 20% when the macros were still alive.
