I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

I'm running a little higher on my lights.
Blues - 75% on at 9:30am and off at 9:00pm
Whites - 20% on at 11:30am and off at 7:00pm
Lunar - 10% on at 6:00am and off at 12:00am
Ramping up and and back down of course.

dmkahlan-what size tank? I'm liking your time schedule. Might work better for me as my household are all night owls-lol.

NanaReefer - it was great. Mrs Claus surprised me with a very nice Georgia Bulldogs Yeti cooler, along with other great gifts.

I have a 75gal tank and I'm running 2 - LumenTek Pro 120s. I like the later time schedule. It suits my viewing schedule better.

I've got a 120gal sitting in the basement that I'm working on setting up. I'll start a build page once I start building the stand.

Thought I'd do an update on corals growth/color. But you'll have to trust me on colors as I've only got an iPhone for pics.
Tank is doing marvelous!

I have a Lumantek 120 on a 15 Gallon, and a 180 on a 37 Gallon. Everything Is doing fine. Some corals In the 15. Fish, anemones in the 37. Great color on anemones and big.

Run 11 hours ramp up and down. Max Whites 30% and Blues 50% moons at 10% night.

I really do like both of them.
