I bought a reefkeeper lite about 2 weeks ago and want to control my kessil a 160. This is my first controller and I can't figure out how to program the alc. Does anybody use a kessil with a reefkeeper? I'm not understanding the ramp down numbers and the different white and blue timers since kessil is full spectrum. Any help would be appreciated :)

If I remember correctly the Kessils hook up to the ALC DIM ports. The DIM ports work with the white settings only. I think one port will control the color output and the other intensity. The color one you may want to set to a certain output without a timer. The intensity output you would use a timer just remember in setting the timer the ramp down will start when the timer expires. The total on time is the timer + ramp time. To check the outputs with the light you can set the intensity without any timer setting and it should output those setting.

Why would that matter for this post? The OP ask for help with the ALC and Kessil. I do not think the OP will mind getting help from someone at DA.
