impur Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I ended up winning the SLS contest on facebook and they sent me a brand new AI SOL!!!!! I finally got the controller and got things setup over the weekend. I did some tests with the PAR meter to compare the MH to the new LED. I tested the LED at 75% and the numbers are pretty close at that power right below the light, but as you go away towards the walls of the tank the LED doesn't have the spread that my lumen bright pendant did. But thats ok, I think my corals on the sand were getting too much light anyway, even though they had acclimated to it. The biggest plus is that I have the AI Sol set to come on and start ramping up at 8am and it ramps down at 9:30pm then runs just the royal blues at 1% as a moonlight. Now I can see my tank at any point during the day, whereas before I only ran my MH from 2pm till 8pm. So here are some pics. I'm currently running this schedule 8:00 | W:1% BL:5% RY:5% | ramp 30min | lunar cycle off 9:00 | W:10% BL:20% RY:20% | ramp 59min | lunar cycle off 11:00 | W:20% BL:30% RY:30% | ramp 59min | lunar cycle off 1:00 | W:40% BL:60% RY:60% | ramp 59min | lunar cycle off 3:00 | W:30% BL:40% RY:40% | ramp 59min | lunar cycle off 5:00 | W:20% BL:30% RY:30% | ramp 59min | lunar cycle off 8:00 | W:10% BL:20% RY:20% | ramp 30min | lunar cycle off 9:30 | W:0% BL:0% RY:1% | ramp 30min | lunar cycle off AI Sol blue 250W Radium Lumen Bright small pendant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impur Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I will work on getting some better pics of the light and how the livestock looks under it this week as I get it adjusted. But for fun I snapped some shots from my frag tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
