Ok everyone so I am trying to program my ap700 and noticed this while I was changing things up yesterday .

When I create a time cycle under quick set I look at the tank and play it through after I save it looks great I am happy. Then when I save it the light is wayyyyy dimmer than what the intensity is set at for that specific time. Say its at 30 % when I cycle through it under quick set but once saved and I back out of the quick set it way dimmer. I don't understand it at all, the firm ware is updated too..... anyone else experience this at all??? I honestly don't know how long this is been going on I always thought my lights seem dim to me.
 
After you do you're programming what does it tell you the light is at? It should give you a percentage. Are you sure you're running a regular schedule and not an acclimation mode? Acclimation mode would explain your issue as it dims the light to acclimate your corals.
 
it says 30% but the 30 % when you hit the play button to view your schedule is way brighter than after you save and set it at your quick set. positive I am not on aacclimation mode
 
I can post pictures of my process later I am just getting off night shift in a bit but I will also take pictures of how the brightness differs
