Nano Box Settings : Share your settings for your Bluefish Controller!

[WRX]

Thanks Dave, I like the way that looks, it reminds me of 14k MH bulbs.

[North Borders]

Looking for a little input into my settings to make sure I'm not doing it wrong.

I'm running the previous generation Duo over a Red Sea Reefer Nano. Tank dimensions are 18"x18"x18".

 

My "morning" starts at noon as I'm often around during the evening.

 

Morning Length: 270 mins

Ramp Speed: 20 mins

Blues: 39%

Whites: 35%

 

Midday Ramp Speed: 45mins

Blues: 42%

Whites: 47%

 

Evening Length: 270 mins

Ramp Speed: 30 mins

Blues: 41%

Whites: 6%

 

For corals I have an euphylia on the bottom, a favites frag, a frag of trumpet, several zoas, a kenya tree, a small patch of GSP and Xenia, a small ricordea colony and a few SPS sticks up top.

 

I've seen other guys posting numbers into the 70's and am wondering if I'm doing the lighting way too dim. Any input would help a lot!

Set them to whatever color you like. Adjust each up and down until you find what looks good to you.

 

Does the % of white to blue affect coral growth?

Not really. PAR does.

Try restarting your phone, if that doesn't work restart the controller. I'm on a beta device that pulls different software, so a couple of times I've had to clear all app data and cache of the app to get it back to working. Shouldn't happen on the production hardware, though.

Very strange. Normally one of those would do the trick. Check it again tomorrow (in case it is something funky with the Electric Imp servers) and if it doesn't work still, email Spencer about it.

Yeah, that might just do it, if authentication is done at the same domain and not on EI's side.

[Sun_Queen]

I'm having the exact same problem! (and by that I mean it just hangs out on the loading screen)

[SpencerShepard]

My server is down currently. Should be up again soon....but this only affects the Bluefish 2 app. It does not affect the controller at all. You can still use the original app normally. This is really unusual as my host has 99.99% uptime.

This is that 0.01%

Here are my Mini Tide Plus M settings on Innovative Marine Fusion 10 (IM 10). Please let me know what you think. Is it too much or too little? The Mini Tide is replacing a Fluval Nano Sea LED with custom high output Royal Blue LEDs from RapidLed, which was producing a respectable amount of light (no controller so it was full blast for 9 hours). I have Xenia, Ricordea, Zoas, Leather, Frogspawn and Hammer coral. Your feedback is appreciated.

I changed them since that post. Now I a lot more blues than whites. Here are my current settings. Sometimes I worry that it may be too strong at midday, but so far no bleaching and zoas are still extended and I interpret it as if they are reaching for more light...

I don't have it yet, but what does the term ramp s peed mean? how long it takes to transition between two stages?

[lostsol95]

Thanks for the settings rsucre.

Sunstar, yes you are correct and check out this thread:

Correct.

[Sunstar]

thanks, I don't like sounding like an idiot. But I had to ask. Oh look a glossary.

[Kyl]

Having trouble getting the fan to adjust speed at all, no matter what percentage I enter in each of the time modes. It's definitely spinning at 100% constantly. I haven't changed much 'out of the box' in bluefish other than the suggested daytime / night levels, so I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere that I may have just overlooked? I realize 0% = 100%, but setting it to 5,6,7% at night brings zero operational change.

 

Thanks!
