Just brought myself a maxspect MJ -L290 and I'm looking to find out what schedule others are using? The standard schedule built in just puts everything to 100% which seems odd.

Can anyone post their schedules?

has anyone used a par meter under these lights?

Following. I got the MJ-L175 for an IM 25 lagoon and having a hard time getting a good color balance. I found the same thing with the preloaded settings, and I can’t tell the difference between their LPS, SPS, and mixed reef settings beyond some different ramp times. And, I find it odd that they set it to full spectrum for 8 hours on a mixed reef.

I just purchased the Mj-l290 for my tank and I am having issues with not only keeping the lights linked to the app but in understanding and making adjustments to the lighting interface. I was thinking of posting a thread on this as well as trying to contact the company in hopes of support.

Same issue. Would be interested to understand how do others setup the spectrum on 290.

I have this light I’m just finally getting in dialed in to a good spectrum app definitely needs a upgrade I’m use to using kessil so this was a big change for me may be switching back to kessil. I love the light just not the app
