Hello -
I've had my Maxspect Ethereals for a few months now and I know that configurations, settings and colors are subjective to my tank conditions and preferences, but I'd love to see other Maxspect Ethereal owners' light settings for comparison.
I'm particularly concerned as I know the Ethereals are quite powerful and I'm being careful to not turn things up and have high intensity and harm my corals. On the other hand, Im not sure if my lights are set too low for my Monti corals and my BTAs.
I've joined the Maxspect Facebook group, but no luck there on connecting with anyone with Ethereals and light setting samples. Google searches haven't turned up much either.
Is there any place , forum or group that you would suggest I access or join to find Ethereal light settings or owners who would/could share this info ?

There is no one size fits all programming for the Ethereal. I recommend starting off at 50% intensity and slowly raising the light output until you reach the desired light levels.
All reef systems are different and unique, this is a recommendation that is impossible to make.

Hi Chris - I fully understand what you are saying. I'm actually not looking for a recommendation, more just trying to see what forums and groups that you and your team may know of that exist for Ethereal users.
For example, AI Hyrda has a group on Facebook where owners have posted light configuration snapshots from their LED app just to showcase/sample their settings and communicate on the good/bad of their lights.
I was hoping that you or someone on your team may be aware of similar groups or forums specific for Maxspect owners in addition to the Maxspect FB group.

These forums would be good places to ask for others light settings.

Thanks Chris !
Just passing on: I'm on the RedSea reefers forum on Facebook where many of the owners purchased the AI Hyrda lights that are sold with some of the Reefer models.
Whenever I post a picture of my tank with the Maxspect Ethereals, I get rave reviews on the looks and style of the lights - everyone thinks the lights and stands look very artistic and sleek. The lights have a great look, are quite powerful and functional.
