I am running the AI Prime on a IM 40 and have been playing with my spectrum a bit lately trying to get the best colors possible out of my corals and produce a healthy growth but not at the expense of the color. Basically I have been trying to reproduce the colors I see at the lfs.

Right now this is the spectrum I am running. I may need to turn down my peak intensity a bit but after a day or two of acclamation everything I put in the tank responds beautifully both in color and growth.




What spectrum are you running on what tank?

Mine is set a 8" right now. When you say you set to 15k, how did you do that? I'm using a two hr ramp from 8-9Ish also using the Lunar setting from 11-6. I'm running mine off a Apple iPad. Looks like I'm getting a 275 par reading at peak time
