Question for director users

Question for director users

I control my 3 52's with Apex fusion. A feature that I like is the ability to control the intensity of each light independently. I have a PAR meter and foound that the PAR under each light in the areas where the corals were growing to be different. Caused by differing heights of the landscaping and the distance blw the coral are. I can adjust each light to get the PAR reading to what I want it under each light.

I could even have diferent intensities for each color for each light. E.G. deep blue could be 100 for one, and 90 and 95 for the other two.

Because I tried 2 different ones.Im at a stand still, unti I talk to Justin tomorrow. Unless someone got another thought. Thanks Jamie for you help

Using the real time weather for Bali, Malaysia figured it'd be more realistic.

Fyi: for those of you correctly using the lunar cycle, tonight is a waning crescent, tomorrow is a new moon and Tuesday will be a waxing crescent so we will have lights out for the next three days starting tonight.

I got mine on the wifi by pressing the wpn button or what ever the little two arrows are on the router, then pressing the the button on the director.

Is the new Director a used unit? I remember having to Email AI and have them reset the unit.
Sonic is this a possibility with what going on with Reeftankhunter?

 

[Sonicboom]

Absolutely, I was talking with him over the phone and he would get to the wps link but his cell phone is his hotspot. However since he stated he went to a friend's house and got the same thing it may have some settings stuck.

 

[ReefTankHunter]

I think your on to something. Although, AI sent it out to me.I will call them in a few.

Got going in minutes after talking with Justin. It was my fault that I could not get on.I was not typing in my ai.I was going right into my director.I'm not to good with this electronic stuff.Thanks for trying.

Lol same happened to me, then wife said "leave them it's a full moon anyway" and it clicked. .lol

ive only had my director for 2 days and i just read that link on the lunar cycle,

my question is should i only be using one color for the lunar phase?

the last two nights ive had all of the color's at 5% and its super bright

 

[Sonicboom]

Yes, I only use the deep blue but some have used royal blue. Preference I guess but only one is needed.

 

[Wazzel]

I just use the deep blue for the moon light.

I have 3 Hydra 52 above a 180.
Current settings are
R & G 15
RB 100
DB 100
V 80
UV 40
W 30
I am satisfied with growth and coral reactions but would like to bring out more red in some of the corals.

How would you recommend adjusting to get more red?

 

[Sonicboom]

Try lowering the UV to 25%
