AI HD on a nano settings help

bongo333 · 11/21/2016, 01:50 AM

Guys some help if i may....
Just received my AI HD Prime
It is for my 5 gallon iBox nano and would really
appreciate some settings help for the light.
Things like the K settings 5000-20000 K
That sort of stuff.
Currently 1hr ramp up starting at 1230 off at 2000 with a 1hr ramp down
ramp down turning to blues. What percentage per LED I have no idea
due to the size I am sitting at 15 watts.

Tank will be home to:
1 torch coral
2 small clowns
tiny BT anenome
snail.

TIA Darryn

My main advice would be to run the light at a very low percentage. I use the AI Hydra 26 in a similar application lighting a frag growout in my sump. I run it around 50% intensity and do not use any of the white channel. I would suggest that you play with the colors and find a combination that suits your liking for a daytime setting and an evening/morning setting. Once you have these figured out the ramping element is pretty simple and in my opinion, not that significant. Personally, I like my tank see my tank under especially blue light in the morning and in the evening.

Hi bongo, I attached the settings I use on my 6 gallon nano with the AI prime HD, my zoas seem to like it and i think it looks good.

I zipped up the .aip file that you upload to your prime using the web interface.
