I noticed that BRS have recommended two different lighting schedules, one was their own settings from one of their condensed guides for new reefers and the other from a forum member getting the AB+ settings for a prime.

Which would you use? What is the benefit of AB+ and why do people praise it so highly?


I scaled both settings down to 35% to suit my tank and the AB+ has less power on all front with the exception of UV and Violet.

BRS Recommended (with some small exceptions on green, red & white being a bit lower)

UV	58.1
VIOLET	58.1
ROYAL BLUE	43.75
BLUE	43.75
GREEN	3.5
DEEP RED	3.5
COOL WHITE	22.75

OR

AB+ Settings

UV	58.45
VIOLET	58.45
ROYAL BLUE	27.65
BLUE	28
GREEN	1.4
DEEP RED	1.4
COOL WHITE	6.65

AB+ Gives a really blue look. My corals since i upgraded to the AI Prime for my Evo 13.5, have been LOVING IT!

Personally I like the ab+ settings,less whites and more blue. For some reason my corals do not like a lot of whites…I modified my ab setting to have zero reds and greens and 9% whites

Could someone please help me with this as well? I’m confused by the BRS video for AB+ for a 20G.
They showed a chart with numbers then said 70% intensity (if I recall correctly). How does this exactly work? Are the numbers what I need to put or is it 70% of those numbers? I saw on the AI fb page that lots of people claim this setting to be too high and burns the lenses as well so I’m concerned I’m going to mess this up!

So their 100% is the standard numbers, 70% is 70% intensity of the 100%, 25% is one quarter of the 100% numbers

Sorry to bump an old thread. What numbers would you recommend for AB+ for a 29 gal OG Biocube?

I don't have FB, so I don't have access to those groups.

Google world wide corals lighting schedule and they have an AI section. Pick a few and scale them up or down and pick one that looks good to you and leave it.

I was able to find a file for a hybrid of the AB+ and Saxby schedule that I am running to see how things respond.

So how has that lighting schedule been working for your reef?

Kinda still trying to dial mine in. How many watts is the highest setting in your profile?
