Thank you! I use the Kessil Spectral X controller, so I can't share an app setting here. But I ramp up starting at 9 am (15%) to 55% from noon to 4 pm, then ramp down to 0% at 930 pm. Par is about 200 at the top of the tank, and 100 at bottom at peak period. It is a pretty even spread with the 4 lights.
What is your color, violet, red and green set at?

It tapers to less white in the morning and night.

Stunning setup, you’ve inspired me to up my violet, looks amazing
That violet looks awesome at night. In the last half hour, I have it turn all the other spectrums off, and just have the violet on 100.

Which jebao pumps are you using for flow?
I believe they are the rw-8.
Wow. Your colors are great!

What are your nutrient levels?
Thank you! Nitrates are currently at 9 ppm, and phosphate under .04 ppm.
What is your filtration for the setup? Have you ever dosed anything? Beautiful tank I really love it so vibrant
Thank you! I have a 29 gallon sump and a small fuge with a simplicity dc120 skimmer. I dose Seachem Reef Fusion 1 & 2. About 55 ml alkalinity, 30 ppm calcium daily. Mg is included with ca.

I found some old pics of this tank from 2021. It goes to show that we all start somewhere. Patience and stability were key in getting this tank to where it is today.
