Zwickm Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I'm curious to hear how everyone runs their LEDs, what percent intensities and color ratios, etc. 1. Size of tank and dominant coral type 2. Color Ratio and number of LEDs 3. Percent intensity per color channel 4. Distance of LEDs from top of tank 5. Tank depth 6. Length of "lights on" period and any ramp time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySaber Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 #1 10 gallon, softies, a few LPS #2 not sure its the Ocean Revive ArticT247 with 48 3watt leds #3 channel #1 set to 10 (whites) channel #2 set to 25 (blues) #4 14" from top #5 12" deep #6 on for 11hrs no ramp time Seems to be ok finally. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. I think I will be lowering again since my mushrooms are moving :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zwickm Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 It's interesting to see the variations in setups. I started with a higher intensity and had to work my way down because corals lost a bit of color. Since lowering, they have colored back up. When I had whites and blues closer to equal intensities, I saw a bit more brown algea growth. Lowering white helped since algea prefers that spectrum over blue.
