Anyone likeing this light. Got one two days ago and put on my 29 biocube. Still playing with colors and intensity. Anyone have any issues. Light on top flashin green. Is it working properly or should light be on constant .My unit is on easy setup mode but would like to goto auto and do my own lighting confg.

If you have nano and have one what do you set colors at?

I have one on a 21 gallon Red Sea Nano Reefer. I'm having difficulty with selecting settings. It works fine with the WIFI. I can control it from the APP just not sure what to set it to.

Ran it for 3 weeks with the auto setup mode: 8 AM sun rise, 5 PM sunset with a 4 hour ramp up and down. Also left the blue on around 10% at night. Had a breakout of green hair algae. Turned the light off for 3 weeks and ran GFO and removed the GHA. Now turned it back on for the last 2 weeks and the GHA is back.

Sent a support request into them for setting suggestions this past Monday. Haven't heard back from them. I had 60 gallon cube with the Kessil 360; didn't have these problems. Kessil's support is much better than AI so may sell the AI and go to a Kessil.

Edit: mine is the regular prime. Missed the HD part

Love mine. It's a ton of power for the size.

I called AI direct and they said they could not give a setting recommendation due to the variances in each aquarium. I understand but a general guide would of been helpful. So I researched common AI Hydra and Radion ratios that have been successful. For my IM 10g mixed reef I'm using the following:
6hrs-80% uv,v,db, b and g 20%, dr 23%, cw 21%
2hr ramp up/down-db 20%, b 40%

I've been really happy with mine over an IM 40 tank that mostly has softies and gonipora. The green light flashing is due to an inactive network connection- both of my HDs do this- I think you can have the light network route the regular one, but never bothered. I just temporarily connect to the light when I want to make changes then disconnect. Setting changes keep. I have always just played with colors to get what I like- it's pretty easy- biggest thing is to ramp up intensity slowly. Use the acclimation feature.

How old is the tank-the algae blooms might be part of a new tank setup.
