I have my timers set for them to ramp up then a seperate timer for them to ramp down. You kinda have to play with it, I;m using 4 timers to get it the way I want it.

"By enabling the lunar cycle, the controller automatically varies the moonlight intensity based on the ~29 day cycle." personally, I have lunar cycle off, it breaks all my manual set up for some reason.

The 14 timers are there to allow ou to tweak the way you lights come on and off. one time can set moonlights. timer 2 can turn blues on for a certain time. timer 3 can start adding whites, and so on.

so to my understanding if i want to turn off the fixture i hve to set the timer and intensity at 0 % ...is that right???

yup, set another timer to whatever time you want it to start turning off. set them all to 0 percent and change it the ramp time to however long you want it to take from that time to get to 0.

I wish they gave out a little more help, once you figure it out, it's really simple but getting there is a bit tough. :)

Is there better combo that I should go with like mixing different light with different % intensity white for the better growth of my corals. My tank is mainly lps ... Any one wants to post their light schedule for through the day

I go with a very simple 2 timer setup. Timer 1 starts at 8am and goes to an intensity of 60% white, 72% blue, 95% royal blue, lunar cycle off, and maximum ramp time. Timer 2 is set for 5PM with 0% white, 1% blue, 0% royal blue, lunar cycle on, and maximum ramp time. So far it has been working well for me.

remember you need to acclimate teh corals so start with low % unless you compared to your prior lighting with a par meter. you can't trust your eyes.
