Where is the AP700? Way above it?

Just behind it, I'll add more photos tonight.

More photos

It's funny because the color I have chosen for my peak hours seems to match the ATI Blue Plus perfectly!! Looks great!

I see. So you were able to angle the T5 a bit. That's good

I'm on beta and have had 0 problems. One of my lights just started to flicker on and off a couple times at night.

I am playing with it a little. I bought the Matrixx 4 Lamp Hanging Suspension Kit - Giesemann and it worked perfectly. I did have to buy metric 4M-.7 nuts stainless and some washers just because and the hanging kit works great! The fixture is great also, best reflectors, water proof caps, 11 foot cord, and fits my tank well. I'm going to buy another because well why not. Even MH need supplementation.

Since it is hung doesn't seem bulky. Eliminated that dim spot in the middle of my tank where that glass is.

It would be interesting to know exactly how much is added with the pair of T5s.

I just put 2 ap700 s on I'm peaking at about 40% for 3 hrs and getting some coraline starting to bleach so gonna cut it back some using the daylight white for peak should I go more blue the white for acclimation

If I had to guess I would say you may have astea stars in the tank. They creat white patches on the coralline. A urchin can do it as well

I've caught mine flickering on and off during the day a handful of times too.

Mine does the same too, the tank would black out for a second and then the light comes back

Getting great color and growth. I have found that with such intense lighting higher nutrients is required.

How did you guys reset the time on your AP700? I woke up and my lights weren't on because of the daylight saving

What intensity are you running your light at? And what're your nitrate and phosphate levels at?

I was at 85% for 7 hours before I added 2 60" T5s a week ago. I'm back to 70% for a few weeks to adjust. NO3 5-10 ppm, PO4 .03-.05. The key with this light and its high intensity is higher nutrients and lots of feeding. My pH runs average of 8.3 and dKH 10-11.

How accurate would you say it is in terms of checking led par? Gets the job done or would you recommend getting a full spectrum apogee?

Watch the brs recent video. Same sensor as apogee 200. Was close enough for most purposes. The 510 apparently has a design flaw that they are trying to figure out.
