    I just got two AI Led lights and was wondering what people have their white and blue light settings on and how long?  Thanks for the help!

    I run mine to ramp up to 50% white and 60% blue from 6-7am, run this until noon and ramp up 10% more for 1 hour, ramp down to the 50/60% and then ramp down to 3% blue for night at 7-8pm.

    Don't let the lights fool you. They are bright and will cook corals easily.

    At AC&C we're keeping them at 40% for all. Like Reefified said, be careful on how bright you set them, they can be deceiving! LEDs don't put out the wasted yellow and green wavelengths, so they don't "look" as bright as what you're used to looking at. They are usually 2x as bright as they look, so aim for less than half as bright as your used to.

    Next time you're at AC&C in Washburn, ask one of us to show you par readings on ours to get an idea of what the percentages will put out.
