Ai Sol settings for a 24g aqua pod

[Adrock]

the light is 13.5 inches above the tank the tank is about 16.5 inches deep any thoughts on on the % for white , blues , royals thx

I have 3 over my 150g 5x2x2 about 12" awl, 35/45/45 - W/B/RB I would start off with 20/30/30 if there is coral in the tank already.

Seems high above the tank. I have mine w35 b65 rb65

 

[Adrock]

ok sorry didn't give details im revamping the tank so to speak and there is no corals in the tank but soon there will be

 

[pgr11]

I would still start with lower settings like Juan said

 

[Adrock]

ok right now I have it set at w=35% blues=%40 and Royals%45 but I will raise them if you think it is better

 

[Adrock]

thx you guys for your help and advise really appreciate it

If there is no coral it doesnt matter lol. What optics are you using? I have mine about 15" above water line with 80 degree optics. Whites=800amps royal blues 1000 amps.

Oh and mine is a 28 jbj nano.

well will be adding soon from my frag system that's under t-5 and I have another frag system with t-5 mh combo so I would like to have it ready so I do not have to mess with it sorry again for not giving all the details

 

[Adrock]

not sure I bought used from oculus I guess what ever it came with ( on the optics)

 

[gr1mm]

T5 and metal halide sounds like a strong light already but if you are gonna add from the tank with only t5 id say run whites around 35% and blues around 45%. And slowly increase the light.

 

[gr1mm]

Also try and find out what optics are o the light, that would give you and idea on how high to set the light.

 

[Adrock]

cool thx I will try to find out and on the % that's what I have them at now

 

[pgr11]

Remember even coral coming from tanks with mh will bleach if you don't acclimate them to led.

 

[Adrock]

yup thx for the advise a solid copy

ok guys I have a lame questions , I have been in the hobby for 29 yrs but haven't come across this but now with all the new tech out there I have some questions so the ai has a storm feature I didn't realize but it goes off 5 times a day I can change it but is it a problem fish doesn't seem to like it lol is there a thing as too much lighting effect lol again I know it is a newbie questions but I just don't know since I have never had the tech to do so thanks

Lightning is just for show. I turned it off as it gets annoying after the novelty wears off.
