Expert Tips:

Choosing the Right Spectrum:
The spectrum of light plays a vital role in coral health and growth. Aqua Illumination Lighting offers customizable spectrum control through the myAI® app, allowing you to fine-tune settings for optimal coral coloration and vitality. Focus on blue and UV channels to enhance coral fluorescence and growth.
Setting Up Your AI Lighting:
Positioning your Aqua Illumination lights correctly is key to achieving uniform light distribution. Mount the lights 10-12 inches above the water surface and adjust their angle to minimize shadowing and provide even coverage across your tank. For deeper tanks, ensure adequate light penetration with higher intensity settings or supplemental lighting like the Aqua Illumination Blade.
Maximizing Energy Efficiency:
Utilize the myAI® app to create a dynamic lighting schedule that saves energy while maintaining a natural day-night cycle. Gradually increase intensity in the morning, peak during midday, and reduce it in the evening to mimic natural sunlight and support coral health.

Installation & Maintenance:

Installing Your Aqua Illumination Lights:
Use AI’s recommended mounting kits or suspension systems to secure your lights. Adjust the height and angle to ensure optimal coverage across your tank. For sleek supplemental lighting, the Aqua Illumination Blade is an excellent option that enhances overall illumination.
Routine Cleaning and Maintenance:
Keep your lights functioning efficiently by wiping the lenses regularly with a soft cloth and freshwater to remove salt creep and debris. Check the cooling vents for dust or salt build-up to maintain proper airflow and prevent overheating.
Using a PAR Meter:
To ensure your corals are receiving adequate light intensity, use a PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) meter to measure the light levels in different areas of your tank. This helps you identify and adjust any low-light zones, ensuring your corals receive the proper lighting for healthy growth.
