Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - Mars aqua LEDs. What height and intensity do you use?

Arnallop3 · 07/11/2017, 01:06 PM

Hello everyone. In the process of creating a light rack/post for my two165w Mars Aqua leds that I will install on my 55 gal 48"x 13" x 21" height I plan on having mainly corals. SPS dominating.

How high above aquarium do you have yours mounted?

What intensity of blue/white do you use?

What is the light cycle that works for you?

I was thinking of 11am blues turn on at about 50% and have whites come on from 12-8pm at 30% shut off blues at 9pm. And have chaeto in sump on opposite light schedule.

How does that sound? Any suggestions on tweaking this schedule?
