Hi,
I just bought this amazing light from Chihiros - WRGB II Pro 120. And I have been searching up and down the net, to find reviews regarding this armatur in order to find the best settings - for a planted tank. My tank is planted. Not heavy but on the other hand not light either. Tank measurement is: 121x51x66, and I have CO2 in the tank.
I found some tips and tricks but Im left a bit confused, so maybe you can help me out?
The reason Im confused is that some run the light with only 50 percent of max performance. eg 50% red, 40% green and less blue. Now why would they do that? There is no explanation of why they choose to do that. Other reason Im confused is that some wrote that a high amount of blue causes algae problems. Any who is familiar with that issue? I am not familiar with wavelengths/spectrum.
Bottum line is that Im looking for the best rgb+w setting. Currently I use this setting, as I found it to look good: Red:100%, green 85%, blue 65% white 50%. on from 08:00 to 17:00. Ladder is one hour. But what my eyes might like isnt necessarily the same as what the plants like.
Thanks
Elroy
