Best light composer for sps acro

[Michael Gray]

What are you guys using for light settings. Color and duration for sps coral. I'm looking for a composer that has sufficient lighting for healthy sps that I can maybe tweak peak photo period to my color lighting. . Feel free to help me out and send me to the link to try

Check out my build thread below. Has the settings for 3 AI Hydra 26hds as well as PAR measurements. SPS seem to be happy.

Thanks. But I'm talking for mitras lx7s.

Ah, sorry, I just realized this was under vendor section. Good luck, hope they get you what you need.

Wondering if vinny's is most commonly used one. I know ditto used vinny's but changed it slightly.

As of right now I just loaded vinny's light composer. Except shifted to start about 8am. I might want to take out some of the blue. Add a little more crisp white but not sure.

My question is this. It says average brightness like 65% at peak. If I have light set at high output 100% is it still pushing max intensity or no? Confused how to read it..

100% power at 65% Brightness :) Max Intensity would be 100% brightness 100% Power, unless you want to go into the power settings and increase some of the channels to over 100%.

I used this one, deleted about half of the data points, changed the ramp up time in the AM and shifted everything later by an hour or two:

This gives me about 220-250 PAR on my upper rock and 150 par on my sandbed. Surprisingly consistent light levels throughout my tank. It's a little too blue in the evening for me, so I still need to adjust that.

I can't seem to find the upload button on GHL's website but willing to share my light composer settings if you DM me.
