smeagol108 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 when the power gets cut to the led driver box doesn't the moonlight lose its power as well. Or is it pulling power from the bluefish controller.The fan has its own power supply which is connected to the driver box. Plug this power supply into a timer and only the fan will go off.

Newtybar Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Quad, 12" over a Fusion 30L Nausori Fiji, Dynamic Sunrise, Natural Sun Whites 42% Blues 57% Moonlight 0.9% (only for 3 hours after sunset) These settings produce a whiter light then I've had on other tanks, and I have to say, I'm really diggin it! Makes the tank look clean and bright to my eye. Too bad I haven't figured out how to get my camera to see it! Haha! Why do you use Fiji? Quote Link to comment
smeagol108 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Why do you use Fiji? That's the system default. Lol. Quote Link to comment

tierarzt Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Regarding my duo...Do I need to run the fan overnight if my chanel 5 moonlight is just set at 0.5%? Quote Link to comment

smeagol108 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 What app is this JR! ? my bluefish mini looks nothing like this. Bluefish 2 app. Go to App Store. There's a new version but it's a separate app not an update. Quote Link to comment
mturney1 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 What settings are you guys using for a mini tide over a im fusion10? I have the bluefish controlled model. I'm currently running blues at 67% and whites at 36%. Water params are perfect but getting a little browning. 1 Quote Link to comment

Bump the blues up a hair. 75, and midday bump the whites up to 45-50%. -Dave Quote Link to comment
mturney1 Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks Dave. Has the fan shipped out to me yet? Mines a complete goner now. 1 Quote Link to comment
pokerdobe Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Anyone have suggestions for settings for a reefer 250? I want to be able to keep clams near the bottom/sandbed... 1 Quote Link to comment

rsucre Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Bump the blues up a hair. 75, and midday bump the whites up to 45-50%. -Dave Hi Dave. How does that change for a 5 channel model? What would be your suggested settings for midday on a IM 10? Mine is currently at: Royal Blue: 75 Whites: 50 Violet: 50 Cyan: 50 Moon: 0 A new hammer frag (2 weeks) that I have on the bottom of the tank is opening, but seems puffy (swollen)... Don't know how to read that... If that's a sign of too much or too little light... Thanks. Here's a pic that shows the hammer (bottom center -- above are leather and frogspawn) at midday. 1 Quote Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Puffy is good. If those setting look good to your eye stick with them. Yours corals will tell you as well. You could bump for violet up 60-70%. -Dave Hi Dave. How does that change for a 5 channel model? What would be your suggested settings for midday on a IM 10?

You could bump for violet up 60-70%. -Dave Just to understand, the 2 channel version vs. 5 channel... Both have the same amount of total wattage or energy..., just that the ones with more channels have it distributed among more channels? For instance, a 2 channel version set at: Royal Blue: 75% Whites: 50% How would that compare with: Royal Blue: 75 Whites: 50 Violet: 60 Cyan: 50 Moon: 0 Just trying to understand. 1 Quote Link to comment

More channels just allows for more fine tuned adjustment. Both options have the same amount of total maximum power and the same leds, but more channels allows for the leds to be split up into groups for better color control. I'm sure Dave will be along to explain more in depthly as I do not remember which leds go together into which channel in the 2 vs 4 channel options. Quote Link to comment

The difference is the grouping. Tide : Lime, violet and whites Blue, cyan and royal blue Tide Plus/Plus M : Whites/Lime Blue/Cyan Royal Blue Violet Moonlight What this allows for a better overall color because the better adjustment point. You will also have a better usage of wattage due to the violets being on there own. Being tied with the whites/lime keep them held back as most people only run 30-50% on that channel when mixed. Hope this helps! 1 Quote Link to comment

edward1096 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I just ordered a Tide mini for my cadlights 4g and wondering what I should make the settings for the aquarium? Both two channel and 5 channel settings would be great! I'm thinking of upgrading to Tide Plus M Looking forward to your guy's feedback on 4G tank recommended settings! Quote Link to comment
