LED AND MOONLIGHT SETUP FOR MY MARINE -- TO BE REEF
Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2013 10:26 am
hello everyone,
i am planning for a CREE LED setup for my reef tank along with the moon light.
tank details
size: 72X27X24
current light setup: none
on the way: Kessils A350W 2 nos
requirement: CREE LED UNIT 2 nos
looking at the tank size i am sure that Kessils are not enough in the long run. soo to help with that i am looking for something that will help the corals grow, look sleek plus works as the moon light as my main requirement.
my plans so far is
TOTAL 2 UNITS
EQUIPPED WITH SUNRISE AND SUNSET EFFECT
12X6X2 inch Acrylic DIY
50% ROYAL BLUE
50% COOL WHITES
CREE XP-G cool white 5 W 80 lens
CREE XT-E royal blue 80 lens
Both the channels individually controlled
My plan sunrise
For royal blue LED
• 0700 from 20% to 30%
• 0800 from 30% to 50%
• 0900 from 50% to 70%
• 1000 from 70% to 80%
• 1100 from 80% to 100%
for cool white
• 0900 from 0% to 20%
• 1000 from 20% to 50%
• 1100 from 50% to 100%
my plan for sunset
for royal blue LED
• 0600 PM from 100% to 30% gradually every hour
• 1000 PM to 0700 AM 20% just blue moon lights
for cool white
• 06oo PM from 100% to 0% gradually in 3 hours
initially kessils will be on timer from 1 PM to 6PM and rest CREE units will take care of everything.
what do you experts think ? will this be a good call ? any suggestions changes will be highly appreciated
thanks for tanking time and reading.
waiting for the suggestions ...
