This is my updated video that extends ramp times to 1 hour as popular requests.
File can be found in the files section of the Facebook group AI Prime/Hydra Reef Group the file is titled Salty Pops.
This video is about the coral growth and coloration I have achieved with the spectrums, settings, and schedule I use for my Aquaillumination AI Prime 16hd LED light.
I have always been a bulb guy so I used that as my guide.
Excluding ramps, I have 3 main settings to my tank.
Lights on at 10am
Lights off at 10pm
Morning blue. Lights on at 10am and ramp to these settings until 11am. It is then held at these settings until 1230pm. This spectrum is a combination of the ATI T5 Blue Plus bulb and the Reef Brite T5 Actinic Bulb
