Perfect. That's exactly what I thought. Already submitted a replacement request through Amazon for it. Thankfully I have mostly softies in there so the blue should be enough to keep everything going until the new one gets here Monday.
I’ve run straight blues for more than 6 months at a time.
If the replacement does the same thing, I'll probably just return it for a refund at that point. 10% white is far too much and definitely wasn't what I would expect from it. 10% intervals is a huge downgrade for this.
Unless you get lucky and find an "old" model it will probably be the same 10%.
I'm hoping that I may end up with an old one in the exchange of this one but in the event I do get stuck with a newer model, I'll find something different and run that instead. I'll probably go with the Nicrew HyperReef 150 in place of this.
What have you been using as your light settings and how high is it above the tank? I’ve got the same light and same tank size.
I ended up doing a bit more research and was able to confirm that as of October 2022, the new batch only adjusts in increments of 10. I opted to return mine as it wouldn't do what I wanted it to do. I went with a Nicrew HyperReef 150 mounted 14" over the tank. Currently running that at 75% blue and 5% white as it adjusts in increments of 5 but is still far better than 10% increments.
