T5 led hybrid light schedule

[reefertank]

Just curious, I have a BRS 48 inch t5 hybrid with 48 inch maxspect razor. Does anyone have anything similar if so what are your settings and schedule?

On the brs YouTube episode for updating the brs 160 they talk about their light schedule. Think it was like august 2018 for the date of the episode. They used about the same lights

You have a picture of that light setup? I would love to see it...

My hybrid is a bit reversed in that the T5 is my primary and the LED is my supplemental but I run 12 hours on supplemental and 6 hours on primary.

This was helpful for me also, so just summarizing what has been working for the BRS 160 according to that youtube link above for anyone else -

LEDs - 3hr ramp to 50% intensity, 6hr at 50%, 3hr ramp down off
T5s - 6hrs on once the LEDs are done ramping.

I will be adding the dimmable t5 to my 3x kessil a360x over my 4' tank and plan to acclimate my corals to the new light by slowly increasing duration and intensity over a few weeks until I'm at 6hrs at 100%
