Initially I burnt some SPS not really understanding the intensity. You need to be careful. Lights were installed around Dec 1 and switched from 250 MH Radiums.
I am hoping some of the SPS that got damaged will come back as they are not getting worse and do seem to be better.
My lights currently at peak times are at
White 37%, RB 43%, Blue 31%, DB 37%, Red 43%, Green 9%
Easy Timer Setting Colors are set to
Wh 60%, RB 70%, Blue 50%, DB 60%, Red 70%, Green 15%
with 70% Acclimation.
Also have 4 T5 bulbs going for supplementation.

Im finding that I have to keep the whites under 40% to avoid burning SPS corals. Right now its in 30%Whites, 70-80% blues, 20% reds, 10% green and theyre doing pretty good.

I would get rid of the greens and replace it with UV lens once the power pucks come out. AI has delayed the announcement for quite awhile now its becoming dissappointing... Main reason why I bought this fixture was being able to customize. Now its to that point where Im thinking I should supplement T5 with ATI true atinics (420nm). If that were the case, I could have just kept my sols and supplement them with 4 T5 bulbs... and prolly would have been satisfied with my lights already.

I have mine set for Sunrise at 10:30am with a 2 hour ramp and sunset at 8:30pm with a 2hr ramp. Lights are 45% white, 75% on all blues, 20% green, 15% red and all sps/lps look great.

Does anyone know if the new UV lens has been released?

I have had my ai vega color for almost 6 months now and I love it. My settings are:
White: 30
Blue: 55
Royal: 60
Deep blue: 55

My depth is about 30" from the sand and if I go anything over 35% on white I bleach my sps...
