Hey everyone,
I just installed my @AquaticLifeProducts hybrid fixture I got from @Reef Breeders, so far super happy with it as I have been looking to make the move to hybrid for a while now. I got the 24" fixture and hooked up my 16" Photon v2+. I am going to run 1x ATI coral + 1x ATI True actinic 2x ATI Blue +. I have a few questions for the lightpros here in Dana Riddle's theme park. Tank is SPS dom with a few LPS on sandbed Nuvo 40.
1) What is the best way to run hybrid? Do I run it as LED was run but with t5 to suppliment at peak (4-8 hours)? I was running a 10 hr peak photoperiod with 2 hrs ramp up and down before/after with just my photon. To acclimate do i start with less time with t5 and increase?
2) How high off the waterline should I mount the fixture? I was running my photon @ 12" above waterline
3) Should target PAR be from LED only or both LED and t5?
Thanks for the help excited to join the hybrid family.
