Led

How is everyone's LEDs working out?

Mine are still cooking corals!!! I mean cooking. I have the AI nano over the Cardiff nano tank I won.

I am running whites at 41% Royal 26% Blue 20%. These are peak settings with about 4 hours total. The other settings are much lower. Every sps frag but two I have put in the tank have cooked in about 3 days. Zoas and palys are bleaching or just plain closing up and never opening. Water parameters are pretty good nothing out of whack too bad. Oh and I forgot, the clam is laying on his side even after sitting it upright every night.

Any ideas?

My SPS and corals look great and I have three units over mine. And I'm now up to 70%

I am baffled and it is driving me nuts!!! Never seen a clam turn on its side daily!!!

That is weird since they are both made by AI and you have them turned down.... Have you tried the white at 25% with the blues?

Welcome to my world! I have cooked about 75% of my corals. I ran them at 100% from day one when all the corals were in the sand. It was that way for about a month and everything looked great. I then took a couple of hours to place and glue all the corals to the rockwork. A week later and everything looked horrible. The only frags that looked remotely healthy were shaded by a ledge. I have since cut the LEDs back to about 40% and run them about 5 hours a day. Things are SLOWLY starting to look better. I lost about 4 chalices and 3 acans. I have some zoas that are doing well and a clam too. The only LPS that is close to healthy is my torch. It is doing great. I am not sure if you can provide a clam with too much light. It might be turning on its side because of flow or not liking where it is.

No problems with frag tank so far! I have the kessil sky blue wich is like 15k sps frags are fine, zoas look way better than under t-5. Its plug and play, no adjusting. Imho you can tweak things too much sometimes. im a kiss method subscriber.
