Reefbreeder super lux

[whanieldang]

Question for anyone who uses the superlux lights. What light intensity setting do you find best for corals and on ch1 and ch2? Having trouble finding a combo I like. plus when the whites turn off and only the blues are in it looks like toxic blueish.

Thanks!

I run my FOWLR/ Nem 180 gal with 3 Super Lux lights, I run mine @ 50% CH 1 and 50% CH 2. I have some slight shadowing with 3 lights but not concerned since it is a FOWLR with a RBTA is right underneth one of the lights, I have thought about getting a 4th light. I run the lights front to back so I can use the lights legs

I think its cool running just CH 1 for the sunrise and sunset effect. I have a Miniatus Grouper gets more aggressive at that time

The lights might not look overly bright to humans but they are bright for corals

As of now:

Ch1: 70% from 10-10
Ch2: 65% from 11-9
