You can try this and bump channels 1 and 2 up to 30%. Ab+ is heavy blues, violet and uv but whites are at around 30% i believe. if you don't get the pop you want then lower channels 1 and 2 more and bump up 4 and 6. 6 is heavy violet and UV.

Thanks! How do you like the settings so far?
Loving it. Noticeably more polyp extension on sps and galaxia appear fuller. Favia have opened up more too. Not sure of par right now since I dont have apogee use anymore but as long as all looks good I'm not worried.

Still liking these lights?
mine is great and i'm getting REALLY good growth. Only thing i'm not super thrilled with is the fans. They are a bit louder than i'm used to at peak times unless i'm on quiet mode. I run normal mode most of the time but if i have company over and we're hanging out in the living room i switch to quiet mode. I think my fans push harder because the vents are pretty close to my Noops so the unit probably runs a little warmer and the fans ramp up more. No biggy, it just noticeable for me. I'm picky like that though.

Overall it's a really great light and grows coral very well. Love the app too!

To now. sorry for bad pick. Acros really taking off along with Aiptasia on sand bed:disappointed-face:. toadstool hasn't been happy for a while but that is because i moved my MPs a little and they liked the flow they were under.

are you struggling with setting the fixture up and programming it or just the settings tab on the app?
I was thinking of using the sun moon sync. But you can’t set the sun moon to location when grouped. When I set them to follow the sun/moon individually overnight they get out of sync.

do you have lunar off and only running sun moon sync? you can run them both but the lunar function runs off your program settings and it will switch back from sun moon sync to program mode if you had both selected.

i just run the Lunar function and i'm fine with it.

more info here: https://orphek.com/sun-moon-synchronizer-icon-app-feature/

maybe contact orphek directly for better info?

I only run one perpendicular and supplement off the ends with my noops. So my setting may not be ideal for your set up. Here are my snap shots. I run 12 hrs with only 2 hours peak from 2 to 4 (9 to 9 schedule).
