How does the controller work on the controllable fixtures? There is not much info except
The controller has an LCD touch interface, and allows for dimming in half hour, or one hour intervals. You can program a sunrise, sunset, and moon cycle, using the remote, or the touch keys on the unit.

What does that mean? Does that mean like ever hour you can turn it up like 10 or 20 percent? is it gradual or is it stepped? Does is mean you go from off to full brightness in a hour? Can you set it for 60 percent?

Are they linkable?

Waybe out the manuals up on the site to help answer some of these question?

Do any of your fixtures accept control from a reef-keeper?

What would you recommend for over a 75 gallon?

Thanks

You can program a different intensity every half hour, or every hour. They are not linkable, and they will not work with a reef keeper, but you can use one remote on multiple units. 2 Photon16s or one Photon48 would work perfectly on a 75.

I don't see a photon 48 on your site?? I assume thats a single unit..

So there is no way to synch two units to the same time exactly or would they do that through the remote? basically one remote would program both at the same time so they would be set for the same times?

Yes, the 48 is a single unit that is not yet yet released. You set them both with one remote to sync the times.
