AI Vega Color Setups

[craigwmiller]

I'd like to start a setup/config sharing discussion on everyone's AI Vega Color's. There are too many configurations to experiment with everything, so I'd love to know what's working well for others!


My setup (which is now running for 3 weeks and a total shot in the dark, and is changing on a weekly basis tweaking based on my corals' visuals):

Tank 36" x 18" x 24" (length x width x height)
2x Vega Color
6" AWL
20" water depth
16" average to majority of coral
Sunrise: 12:45pm
Sunset: 11:30pm
Ramp time 1:15

Color Max Nite
White 45% 0%
Blue 35% 0%
Royal 40% 2%
D-blue 25% 0%
Red 25% 0%
Green 25% 0%


Lunar cycle, 11PM -> 10AM

Weather (yeah why not, my kids really love it, and the fish are visibly unaffected by the lightning -- been watching closely):
70%, 4x daily, 8AM to 10PM

Tagging along as I just picked up a vega setup! Will post when I get it all dialed in!

LOL I have to admit so far I've only used the simple set up

Yeah, i've tried the advanced setup with the new controller, but it's a little tedious. I will only play around extensively if they ever release the director software.

I think most will look similar that way.
I run 10 - 7 w/ 2 hr ramp

60 - 75 - 85 - 65 - 40 - 40
No night mode.

That said, does anyone notice the controller indicating a higher percentage than your listed maximum?

Good to see you back Jason, how do you like LEDs so far?

Andrew.

Thanks Andrew glad to be back.

From what I have read about the Director software is that it is going to be a web server interface and a hardware component will have to be purchased to convert AI wireless protocol to wifi or Blue tooth. That turned me off the entire thing, but we will see what develops
