A copy of Winterfell's 10/13 profile
Reduction in total CW intensity to 60% max. Reducing CW peaks to two peaks at 1215hrs and 1930hrs with CW nadir 45%.
Perhaps less photo bleaching and better colours.
Another re-tweak to the daytime photoperiod.
Changed max CEW to 70% due to mild photobleaching. Max day time photoperiod split to 3 and 4 hour lengths respectively with one dip down in CW to 50% only (compared to previous)
Reducing peak CW to 80% max. Noticed photobleaching on some corals that are placed higher up in the tank.
Reducing HR to 20% max throughout day time period. Increased peak CW to 95%. Testing hypothesis that too much HR can contribute to photobleaching.
Minor adjustment to CW during daytime photoperiod, fluctuating between 65% and 95%. HR remains at 20% max.
Fine tuning the spectral variations during the day light hours. Shortened Sunrise.
Further modification to the peak lighting period 'variations' experiment
Staggering the peak light spectrum. Hopefully this will minimise Cyano on rocks and also help with coral growth.
Increased CW from 65% to 75% from 1230hrs to 1830 hrs.
Increased White to 65%. G and WR at 45%, during peak photo period. Intensity at 100%. Hoping to see of the corals will increase red pigment.
Playing around with lighting .... Just a hunch that 100% intensity is too heavy. Also White @ 60% made my coral colours look washed out.
Trial - reducing overal intensity to 95% and reducing White intensity to 50% (which is 5% above Radion Pro 14K setting)
Increased in intensity to 100%
Being brave - part 2 .... increased intensity to 100%. Increased 'Day-time' white intensity to 60%. Green and Hyper Red remains at 45%.
Being brave .... increased intensity by 5% and length of daytime to 10.5 hr @14K.
Increased spectrum to Radion Pro pre-determined colours at 16K and 14K (HR intensity now increased by another 5%.)
Fingers crossed hoping for no spike in nuisance algae.
Intensity increased to 85%. Spectrum unchanged.
Increased intensity of HR by 5%
Intensity increased to 80%. Spectrum unchanged.
Increased intensity to 70%. Spectrum unchanged
Minor re-tweak of intensity - 65% throughout lighting cycle and spectrum at start of sunset.
Correct file to previous entry
Intensity increased. Spectrum at 14 000K
Slight re-tweak of intensity levels
Reduced increased to 14K daytime spectrum
Reduced intensity to combat Cyanos
Radion scheduled based in best colour. Midday 13500K
