potatocouch Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I want you guys to be brutally honest on this. Can I ask for quick opinion on this schedule on my spectral controller: 3 pm: 0% colour / 0% intensity 4 pm: 70% colour / 40% intensity 6 pm: 100% colour / 60% intensity 8 pm: 60% colour / 30% intensity 9 pm: 40% colour / 5% intensity 10 pm: 0% colour / 0% intensity Appreciate any feedback that you may have .. negative constructive feedback is most welcomed Link to comment
joy13 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Mine should be here any day and I am wondering what the best schedule so I am following along. Link to comment
pwreef Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 If you really live near GBR, you ever look out the window? See figure 15 here: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2013/12/lighting Link to comment
joy13 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 Does anyone use 100% intensity on the light? I know on my reefbreeder light the highest I use is 30% on each channel at the highest point. Link to comment

See figure 15 here: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2013/12/lighting How do I convert the intensity/colour of Kessil to PAR? What is the most realistic schedule in the ocean? Does anyone use 100% intensity on the light? I know on my reefbreeder light the highest I use is 30% on each channel at the highest point. I did use 100% intensity. The torch was coming from a Pico tank with built-in generic LED Light made in China, so you probably can figure out the intensity of that light ... yes it was very low intensity. When exposed to 100% intensity for short period of time, the torch is loving it ... i can feel that it is happier .. but no, I don't intend to use 100% in my weekly lighting schedule. Link to comment
disaster999 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 As long as your corals are acclimated to your light properly, your coral could easily survive and thrive in those conditions. Also, as long as your light is not blasting at 100% for 8 hours straight and have a lighting schedule which its only at 100% for 1-2 hours a day, your corals should be fine. Link to comment
