Any other reefers have this light on their tanks with BTA.

Im fairly new to the BTA game, I only have the one nem and paired clowns. no introduction of coral anytime soon (1 -2 months)

What setting do you guys use for the lights? How intense? How long do you run it for?

2 Kessil 360WE and 2 Kessil A150W Deep Ocean Blue

95% intensity, ramping controlled by APEX

8am-9am 150W DOB actinic
9am-8pm 360WE ramping from 10% to 95% back to 10% + 150 DOB actinic
8pm-10pm 150W DOB actinic

light is about 30" from sandbed. tank is 24" deep. getting around 100 PAR at sandbed. 200 PAR at mid level.

these lights are great for LPS and zoas. I see growth on the SPS also. anemone looks great, bubbles like crazy.

not that great for clams alone. need to be kept higher (not on sand bed)

Kessil A350W about 15" above the RBTA. Both channels at 100% which would be approximating 10K at 85% on the A360WE.
