Wow, who's is this now?

Mine. Here is my schedule. I've changed my schedule since I originally setup but kept the same profiles, so as you can see some of the profiles are the redundant at this point. I just didn't feel like going back and cleaning up in case I wan to change it later on.

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 10:00 to 12:30 Then ColDawn
If Time 12:31 to 15:00 Then Colmid
If Time 15:01 to 16:00 Then ColDayup
If Time 16:01 to 17:00 Then ColDayDown
If Time 17:01 to 19:30 Then Colmid
If Time 19:31 to 22:00 Then ColDusk

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 10:00 to 12:30 Then IntDawn
If Time 12:31 to 15:00 Then Intmid
If Time 15:01 to 17:00 Then IntDay
If Time 17:01 to 19:30 Then Intmid
If Time 19:31 to 22:00 Then IntDusk

IntDawn- Ramp 60 min., 20-70
Intmid - Ramp 1 min., 70-70
IntDay - Ramp 1 min., 70-70
IntDusk - Ramp 180 min., 70-30

ColDawn – Ramp 1 min., 0-0
Colmid – Ramp 1 min., 50-50
ColDayup – Ramp 60 min., 70-80
ColDayDown – Ramp 60 min., 80-70
ColDusk - Ramp 1 min., 0-0

Awesome thank you! Do you by chance use apex fusion? Much easier to set these lights up! Any how, so how do I read this, is it 20-70 is spec-int?

No. I don't use fusion yet. Ive heard it's way easier though. Haha. Yea. Int is intensity. Goes from 20-70 for 60 mins. Then stays at 70 for a few hours then ramps down from 70-30 over a 3 hour period.

Ok so you run 80% int for 1 hour then go back to 70? What about the spectrum? Thanks again!

I usually find a spot lower in my rock work and slowly move it up over a few weeks. You could probly get a rack that suctions to the glass as well.

I've seen a few people now with sps running under 40% color and 100% intensity. Kinda odd I thought.

I was hoping no one would ask. Let me see if I can pull it off the apex.

If you use apez fusion you can just take a screenshot of the screen. If not you can screenshot your regular apex program instead of typing it all. Either way it would be greatly appreciated by all! :) amazing tank.

Spectrum is 0-100% with 20% changes. I was running kessils at 100% intensity for a while but someone pointed out that my acans were looking browned out. Since adjusting they have shown better colors.

Tried what? I'm somewhat confused on what your running. Mind posting the pics of some of the other profiles?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
