Axolotl

[Manuel]

Dear Chihiros Team, I'm currently using your Chihiros Universal WRGB for my axolotl aquarium (dimensions: 120×50×50cm) and am very impressed with the quality and performance of your products. Since axolotls have very specific requirements regarding light intensity and illumination, I'm turning to you directly with the following question: Do you have any recommendations or experience regarding the optimal percentage settings (RGB/White) for an aquarium of this size with axolotls? I'm aware that every tank is different, but I trust your many years of experience with the light. I'm particularly interested in: Daylight simulation yes/no Recommended overall brightness in % Distribution of RGB channels for the most natural, eye-friendly illumination possible Lighting duration, including sunrise/sunset if necessary Since the health and well-being of my axolotls are very important to me, I would be very grateful for any recommendations.

Sunrise: 07:30–08:00, WRGB set as 0 → 25%
Daylight: 08:00–18:00, WRGB set as 25–30% (recommend not exceed 50%)
Sunset: 18:00–18:30, WRGB set as 25% → 0%
Night: 18:30–07:30, OFF
Optional: Use a moonlight or dim red light (5% red only) in the late evening if you want to observe them without stress.

Thanks for your comprehensive answer. I have one more question, maybe I'm just too dumb to find it, but where do I adjust the moonlight in the app?

No preset moonlight mode in the app.
You can add another automation or use customize mode to set your own.
