Optimal lighting settings

[jadaquariums]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any guidance on optimal lighting durations using a chihiros wrgb2 pro 90. I believe that running this fixture too high can cause some algae concerns, and was wondering what you would recommend on the app to keep most general plants healthy and growing without causing excess cyanobacteria and or algae issues.

my tanks dimensions are 36" long, 15" wide, and 20" tall. The top of the tank has large brackets. The tank is approx. 47 gallons in volume.

Thanks for the help.

91x38x51cm tank.
Normal WRGB II 90 is enough, if you use Pro 90 light, you can low the light intensity.
For a just planted tank, overall brightness not exceed 30%, then you can add 5% each week to find the more suitable settings for your tank.

Hi Team,

I am using WRGB 2 Slim 45 for (45x28x28 cm) tank. Please suggest light intensities for newly high tech planted setup as i progress in weeks and having lots of Red stems and green mid and foreground carpet plants as well.

Around 30% percentages, add about 5% each week, around 60% when it get mature cause it's a shallow tank.
