Ok so I have a 75g tank and have 2 AI blue sol that I'm running as well, I've kinda set the lights off things I've seen. I have some sps coral and it's been doing great for about 2mo (well the oldest pieces) anyway what should I have my timers set at as far as intensity and ramp time and how long on ea timer setting.. Any help or feedback would be Great, thanks in advance
 
I use OR-T247s not AIs but still LEDs. I run my blues at 40% and my whites at 30% for 12 hours a day. The light is about 10" off the water and it's an 18" tank. I have no problem keeping sps on the sand bed

[MENTION=2223]Spartanman22[/MENTION] so do you a sunrise and set timer? I'll look what I have mine at exactly and post it.. And ya Glenn is alway busy, he's been comin by one night since last sun lol
 
I run two ai sol blue and max out around 45 55 55. I've been slowly increasing them over the weeks. My lights turn on at 8 slowly going up and by 1230 they max out till 5 pm then slowly dim till 730 I have my ramp times and setting in excel at work. I'm going to try to measure them again with the par meter.
What do you max yours at.
 
Ok sorry for taking so long to get back to you but here is the settings I have as of now
Setting 1- 30min w-50 b-80 rb-75 6:30pm
Setting 2- 20min w-45 b-80 rb-80 8:00pm
Setting 3- 15min w-0 b-10 rb-10 12:05am
Setting 4- 10min w-04 b-05 rb-03 1:45am

The 1st time in min is the ramp
 
I've had it set like this for prob about 2mo+ maybe closer to 3 and so far all my coral has been doing great, some of my zoas have added up 6 polyps
 
Seems like a short light cycle to me. I'm not sure how long the led guys run their lights but I run my halides for 12 hours
 
I run my reef breeders all day moon lights come on about 6am slowly increase up till noon from noon to 4 I have my lights at 70% with my t5s then they decrease from there till moon lights come on at 845 till 1130 then they go off
