Our Lighting comparison ATI t5 sunPower/Hydra 26 HD's

[jsker]

You have them going for 24hr? It was suggested that I keep one blue at 1% for 24Hr. are you doing that now

 

[theMerchant]

the tank is blue at night, its for moonlight. If I have the lunar ON then they go with the moon phase.

*we need a Hydra HD owners thread so we can share and test profiles

here is the light profile. I take no credit I found it online

that is kind of what I am trying to unite the Hydra owner here to start exchanging information along with the T5 guys.

Led guys can change it on the fly, T5 guys need to change bulbs

@theMerchant does that work?

it does work, we need to name them

 

[jsker]

@theMerchant figured it out. I was using the lunar mode, but I need to figure that one out too.

 

[jsker]

That was a test, the next time we post a setting we should name them after our handle, for example themerchant _-_-_ or themerchant4-13-16 then we know who setting these are and what date they were posted

 

[jsker]

@theMerchant you are now added to the intro with your suggestion of how to post AI setting.

 

[john.m.cole3]

that's a good point, but we are trying to focus on the positive of how our lights work and not throw out downfalls or short comings of the other lighting system. No hard feelings, just trying to keep this ship steered in the right direction. we really do appreciate all of your input about the lighting programs.

 

[theMerchant]

sounds good. no harm meant... stay positive.

 

[john.m.cole3]

Crazy thing today. I moved a browning out monti up from the sand bed to the middle of the tank 5 days ago, increased my flow, and it started growing red tissue on the perimeter of the coral I noticed today. No change in light intensity. Made me realize how important flow is. Just wanted to throw it out there.
