Noo-Psyche K7 V3 questions

[excaliber]

I’ve reached out to Zach but have not heard back yet. I was hoping someone could give a kick in the right direction?

We have a 62 gal AIO setup with TBS base rock and Caribsea special grade sand in it. We are just cycling it waiting for the premium rock to ship in a couple weeks

This is going to be a Clownfish Anemone tank with no corals. Does anyone have any recommendations on light color spectrum and intensity?

We are seeing some hair algae after a week and a half We may have too much white light. Settings are 60, 70, 5 ,70, 70 ,10
We are new at this as you can tell. If anyone could help that would be great

not familiar with settings for this fixture, but I would recommend leaving the lights off while you cycle. You'll just be fueling algae growth.

I thought the Noops were popular lights on this forum. Maybe no one uses them with Anemone. Interesting. Maybe I’m the first since no Noops guys piping in?

Lots of people run them, just keep bumping.

I have 3 of these over my 120, but other than an RFA, I don't have any anemones. Are you aware of this tool for adjusting the intensity of the various colors? It is much nicer than using the controls in the native app.

I had 6 over a 72x24x24" tank only 7 inches above the water and some of my bubble tips were getting 400+ par and thrived. I would recommend using a par meter then set the color pleasing to you and bump the intensity of each channel to get the par you want. The K7s put out a lot of par. I'll post my settings below but don't recommend running them without some way to measure par. I was getting 300 par on the bottom where I kept my clams but I had lights overlapping.

The tank not too long before I broke it down.

EDIT
This is the tank they are currently on with some par measurements that may help. Tank is 25" deep lights 10" above the water only 4 lights running

I own the k7 minis and pro V3. Getting algae is normal while cycling a new tank with the light on. You now have resources for the algae to feed off as the bacteria converts it to nitrates. Turn the lights off until you complete your cycle. While lights have a role in it. Nutrients are the biggest factor.

You won’t know what light setting to use until you get coral layout.

If you just want to enjoy it while it cycles. Run blues whites under 10.

I guess I can give another data point. This is my current setting chart:

Here is an FTS from earlier this week:

The maxima clam at the top of the rocks is seeing just under 400 par at the peak of the day, and has been growing steadily for the 3 months I have had it.

Thanks everyone. It looks like I’m running more white at 60 than all of you which is likely causing the algae growth. The white gives the tank a more natural look. When I lowered it too much it looked like a black light poster
The tank is already completely cycled with the live base rock in it. The small cuc already took cake of the algae growth

We get the premium live rock in a couple weeks. Once we have all the rock set in place we’ll check par readings

I really like the lights so far. We are just learning and hoping to get the tank ready for some inhabitants in the next few moths

Tank above you here is running >50% white.
