Huh

Jasonrusso what size is ur tank and how deep I got 3 24 inch orbit marines on my 125

I have a 210, 30" deep. Keep in mind that is a Fowler tank. I did check PAR and with one strip at 6" it is about 200 par. My reef tank at the same depth is about 500 par.

If I had 2 strips (IC Pro) it may be higher.

Is that 200 par at the surface or near the sand bed?

6" down from the surface

I have the orbit IC on my fowler. I love it. If I wanted to start doing coral in that tank, I would have to add another light strip (accessory light) to the other connector on the light controller. This makes it the Pro model. If you have an Orbit IC you have one light. If you have the Pro, it's 2 lights. Same everything else.

Don't let everyone tell you your light sucks. You may have a hard time with SPS unless they are at the very top, but you can grow zoas, LPS, softies.

What exactly is the question about programming?

My advice would be to purchase the Bluetooth controller. The phone app it's so much easier to program and it provides more options than the remote and lcd controller.

Well. As i undestand the Orbit suppose to on and off automatically and do the sunrise, sunset, etc without me having to touch anything. So now and here thinking what I do bad!!! I gonna

Hi. I had the same lights and yes, it should be pretty simple. You need to set the clock first, by pressing the left top most button on the controller. Using the + - and then enter. Once the clock is set, then set your on and off times. Top buttons on the controller and same process as above.
Once that is done hit resume and your default program should start to run.
You can of course change the timing and color sliders for the program later if you want to as well. Hope this helps. If still in trouble call currentusa, they have a top notch support team in my opinion, they are extremely responsive.

Yes, as the above comment says, hit "resume." Always hit resume after making changes. If you hit L1, L2, etc it will stay in that setting. If you hit resume it uses the timer settings.

Sorry, one more thing. Remember if you hit any of the weather or light buttons it will take you out of the program and you will need to hit resume to go back to the program. I.e. I think if you press clouds the lights won't be following the program and won't shut of at night so remember to always click resume in the end.
Hope this helped!

Hmmmm got it, not the IC nor the Pro. Can you send a picture of your controller? Maybe I can help that way and see what's going on?. In any case, it's great you contacted current USA. In my experience they are very responsive.

That is the IC.
Honestly, get the Bluetooth controller, not only is the programming easier, it opens up more features.

 

[Who me?]

Setup is very simple with the Bluetooth controller and the smartphone app. The app is very responsive and well laid out.

In additional to having full control from your smartphone,the hub adds the following which are not possible with the standard loop controller:

Night mode for pumps - reduces flow setting by 30% during the moonlight phase of the lights. Works for all flow modes and can be set individually for each pump.

Programmable lighting effects for the lights during moonlight phase.

The ability to daisy chain additional wave pump and light hubs so you can have additional motion pumps or lights on a single channel.

Additional programmable storm patterns for lights during daylight phase.

Sounds effects for the storm patterns.

Temperature sensor with planned email alerts coming soon. Heater control is rumored to be in the works as well.

Optional display is coming soon that shows real time feedback of light and pump status ( flow rate, color intensities, etc.)
