Calling All AI Vega Users

[Jimbo662]

Since these have been out for almost 6 months I was wondering how everyone has theirs set up. I was brand new to reefing when I set my tank up in Sept so didn't have any experience with lighting. Wanting to get mine set for maximum benefit. My tank is 72long x 21deep x 27wide. I've got 3 mounted about 10" above the water and have them set at:
White - 55%
Blue - 60%
Royal - 60%
Deep Blue - 60%
Red - 40%
Green - 40%

Any suggestions on changes?

Nobody out there using Vega's?

You're the first I'vee heard of on the site running the Vega's

I'll run them eventually, when AI gets around to starting the upgrade program they've mentioned for those of us on the SOL platform

They are more than capable of growing corals, so set it to a color mix that you like the look of. Generally speaking, the whiter the light output the faster the growth and duller coloration, and the bluer the output the slower growth but better coloration

I actually just reversed the settings so that i do have more blue than white and have seen at least two or 3 react positively. My Blasto is looking plumper and two SPS's seem so show better extension.
