My mixed 150 gallon

It took a while to setup but I think I finally figure out how the controller works ....
My tank is 52 x 22 x 30(H). I decided to go with 5 sets of light but 4 also works. The lights are very bright and have a lot of shimering. Over the last 6-7 years, I have been using multiple chinese black box brands, my last being Viparspectre. They are all great but I experienced after couple years of usage, the lights starts to fade, so I hope this last at least 2-3 years.

The setting I used is:
Slot Time A B C D E
1 13:00 0 1 5 5 0
2 14:00 0 20 30 10 0
3 15:00 35 60 60 35 50
4 18:00 1 50 60 20 5
5 19:00 0 50 60 30 0
6 23:00 0 0 0 1 0
7 23:59 0 0 0 0 0

This is setting #3

This is setting #5

Very well done and a beautiful reef. I would love to see what the par is at those various settings during the day as that is what I did and was very surprised at the power these lights have.

controller on this thing does not work.. I have the time setup that I like but woke up this morning and lights are on where it is suppose to be off. Right now I have it manually off with red lights.. HELP!!

 

[alfani]

out of frustration, I reset the controller .. set all the "SPS" and "LPS" time slot to all zero and now just kept the "SPS/LPS". go into manual mode then go to the only setup with time slot, set my inital slot#1 to all zero, now is just have 5 slots to play (#1 and #7 have zero now, #2-6 left to play) that have "on" schedule in the "SPS/LPS". seem to work now since i turn back on to blue (automatic) and lights are finally off.

I also dropped one of the lights into the water, needless to say, it's fried :mad::mad::mad: ... only working on 4 lights now

Thanks to BIGGUN (Kevin). Now I understand how the lights works and I really like it. The reason the lights are on is because somehow I changed the setting in Slot#1. What I didn't know is that the unit slowly increase or decrease the intensity of the lights from one time slot to another. From my #3 to #4, it would slowly start to loose the intensity, so unlike the black box where it just switch on or off and kept it the same, this unit will actually act like in real life that from highest peek, it will slowly goes down to your next time slot. I do not know if other name brand have this sunrise/sunset function but I think this is really good.
