AI Nano Sol LED color

[Bobby A.]

I posted this in the Lighting forum but thought I would try here also. I have an AI Nano Sol LED over a Biocube 29. Im trying to get the color temp around 15-20k however the only way to do that is by turning the whites way down compared to the blue and royal blue LEDs. I just want to get rid of so much of the white/ ice look. Does anyone know if the par is high enough with the whites around 30 and the blue/ royal blues around 80? Corals are mostly LPS ( acans, blastos, duncans, scollymia, brains, plates) Ricordia, Zoas, and a few SPS at the very top (Monti caps, birds nest, Acro Milli, ect)

Just curious what everyone elses settings were.

Thanks in advance

I've tested out my new AI nano w/ controller for my upcoming smaller build over my AP24. I was able to get some great color however I didn't feel it was enough light considering I currently use a 150w MH. If I ever switched to LED and went with AI for my AP24 I'd have to get the larger SOL. So do you feel the nano is enough for your 29?

LEDs aren't like "regular" bulbs. Generally, the whites don't have more PAR than the blue and royal blues.

The Nano is plenty for my 29! I have to start any new corals at the bottom of the tank. Some under shaded areas and work them up over a couple of weeks. Otherwise they burn up. And the spread is good at about 11 inches off the water.

I can't wait to get this light! It'll be over my next tank!
