Hey ATI hybrid users.
I recently upgraded my tank, and moved my corals over from being under Radion LEDs to an ATI hybrid. Now i also changed a number of other things at the same time, so what follows isnt necessarily down to the change in lighting, but I am pursuing all avenues.
Many of my hard corals have been slowly bleaching since the move...some seem fine (my stylophoras in particular), some of my acropora have faded colour and minimal polyp extension, and some such as a hystrix colony have bleached completely to white.
As there are no recommended settings for the hybrid, Ive had to guess at how to set it up. Intensity wise its probably ok....I can measure PAR and adjust accordingly.
It the blend of led and t5, and the colour spectrums i need suggestions on.
1 - how does everyone balance the t5s and leds? Same intensity for both, more t5 and less led, or the opposite?
2 - what is a good safe colour spectrum to set my leds to through the day?
3 - I have the following bulbs in, could the mix be a problem, and can anyone suggest how i could change it for the better?
2 x aquablue special
1 x Blue plus
1 x Purple plus
Thanks for any advice and experience you can share.
Chris
