I just upgraded from a black box to the Noo-Psyche. I am attempting to set up a schedule but to say I am overwhelmed is an understatement. I am attempting to do a 10k spectrum view but there are like 6 different colors and it’s really confusing. I am attaching some photos of what I am looking for.

If anyone has something similar to what I’m looking for, please send over your schedules or any suggestions you have for which colors I should be adjusting higher or lower, it would be greatly appreciated.

Running every channel equal percentages is the place I’d start. With both my kessils and reef breeders, that hits 10,000k right on the money. If yours is still too blue, push the white, red, and green channels higher than the blues. If you’re maxed out and it’s still too blue, either reduce the 450nm channel, or if that is inadequate par wise, you may not have the right lights for the job.

I commend you for shooting for the 10,000k look. Too many reefers are afraid of it.
 
Their channel definitions do not make sense.
From a spectrum point of view hard to "draw a picture"

Thank you!

Why afraid? I think it’s beautiful!
 
I used the SPS/LPS setting to use a proven spectrum. I, however, needed to reduce the power of each color to about 30% of the LPS/SPS setting to get the par where I want. I then just turned up the white light to get the look I want.

P.S. Beautiful corals!!!!
 
Thank you!

It is!! But most reefers use blue lights to hide algea and make corals appear florescent. The few accomplish what it takes to make a reef look that good in that full of a spectrum and true colors, though I believe we all recognize and appreciate what it takes to accomplish this...
