Due to the way the kessils are designed they don't ramp all the way down to 0%. They'll cut on / off at 15%. Mine ramp for 4 hrs to 50%, stay there for 4 hrs and 4 hrs to ramp back down. I've got the color set at 35%. My current tank is a 24"x24"x22" cube. You'll need to play with the intensity to get it right for your tank dimensions and the type of corals you've got. These lights are a lot brighter than they look. Make sure you start low so you don't bleach / burn anything.

My last tank was 48"x18"x21" (i think) and I had two lights on it set at 63% intensity.
