lighting

The tank is a Red Sea Max Nano XL with a layout of 19x 19 x 19 inch cube. I already have a point source LED light (Red Sea 50w LED) but it’s not powerful enough and doesn’t have the spread/coverage I need to grow Acro/SPS colonies. Many of the popular lights discussed are gauged towards...

Hey guys new to the forums and setting up my first mixed reef tank. Currently have a 40 gallon mantis shrimp tank that I’ve had a lot of fun with but I’m new to the lighting situation when it comes to corals. I’m going to have a 75 gallon rim tank. Right now I’m considering pairs reefled 90 or...

so I just got a 20gal tank and I bought an AI blade I plan on having corals in there including sps, I accidentally bought the glow instead of the grow. The main difference is the grow has white while the glow is violet and blue. Now my question is if corals need white to grow or if the violet...

Morning, all! I'm helping an elderly relative replace her lighting on her 150gal softie reef. 2 out of the three T247s are going bad, so she's springing on the 66" Blade. The T247s were running 100% Blue from 9am-7pm, whites 20% 10am-5pm. What kind of settings should I be going for to not...

Hello, I would really love some advice or opinions on lighting. I've just entered into the marine keeping world and am wanting to give it my best go. I am wanting to get a Waterbox AIO 50.3. I am wanting to do a mixed reef but mostly only softies and lps and then maybe a couple of sps later...

Is there a way for me to add light to my tank so it lights up from below? Meaning something sitting on the bottom of the tank inside as opposed to outside? The corals are always stretching upwards reaching for the lights from above. I think they could also benefit from having lights shining...

I’m curious how many hours a day too run my lights. I’m going with 12 hours per day now but I wanted too do a poll because I see so many different opinions. I automatically thought 14-15 hours a day would be good because in the summer where I live the sun comes up at 6 am and doesn’t get dark...

Recently put an xr30 g5 blue on an AIO 24g 24x24x8. Along with this change I had a bit of a separate crash in parameters due to a shipment of unhealthy corals and nems but even before my parameters went out of whack it seemed that going ab+ at more than 20 percent was causing polyps to recede...

Brand new in box aquatic life 61 inch fixture. Has been sitting in my basement for 6 months and I still haven’t figure out how to make it work for my system so it has to go. Asking $325 shipped.

I am planning an upgrade from my evo 13.5 to a 40 breeder, and am looking for a light setup that will work well for my tank without breaking the bank. I like what I have read about AI Prime 16HD’s, but I can’t afford 2 of them at the moment on top of the cost of the new, bigger, tank setup...

Hello Reefers! I tried researching this issue but did not find much info… I came home the other day and noticed the color of my tank had an unusual hue. After some troubleshooting I found that the royal blue channel on one of my blades is not working. Wondering if anyone else has experienced...

I have had this tank going in one way or another for over 10 years. Ups and downs , mistakes were made. It is a 30 gallon with 20 pounds maybe of live rock and some newish dry rock at the bottom. It has been in the New used tank for 5 months and coraline is growing well. I consider this the main...

Just curious what others are using for settings on their Red Sea 90 lights. I have 2 over my Red Sea 350 mixed reef tank. I have some SPS at the top of the tank, so I want the lights to be strong, but I also have some lower light corals at the bottom… (75-150 par target) I’m fighting the urge...
