ETCs_Lady Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I just upgraded my BC29 with RapidLED Retro kit: 4x 4,000K, 4x Lime, 12x Royal Blue, 4x Cool Blue - 12 Royals on 1 driver, others on second driver with Storm Controller. To make my BTAs the happiest, what would be my goal for light percentage and length of time for colors? Thanks! Link to comment
Bill Nye Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 What light did you have before? If you are switching to LEDs or improved your lighting a lot I would go very slow with the acclimation process. I just upgraded my tank and I am going very slow with light acclimation. I have a 6 bulb ATI and I started with 2 bulbs on 6 hours all bulbs on for 4 hours and increased the time the light is on 15 minutes every day. So far everything has been responding well except that I almost bleached a chalice on the sandbed! After moving him to a cave he is doing fine. Link to comment
ETCs_Lady Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I upgraded from a basic BC29 with original lighting that had two additional long LED bars added... one all Royal Blue and the other White and Blue. I do not know there light capacity. I know I must start low and I have. My biggest interest is what is my goal? I know 100% is too high, atleast I think so! but what should I be trying to reach or should I just up it until they look like what I want or they start going down hill? Where do I stop?!?!
