I am running 2 Atlantik v1"s and a new V2b over my 180 gal tank.Anyone else running Atlantiks? I'd like to see what your programs are and share our experiences with these lights.For me,I'm struggling with getting the v1 lights and the v2b to look the same. I also found out the hard way that I can't crank these lights up to look like mh. What looked equal to me was NOT. I'm on a steep learning curve it seems...:frusty:

From what I've read here, you have to acclimate your tank slowly to leds. Most people start as low as 30% and gradually raise the intensity.

Adusza85,I did a quick set to your program on one of the v1's.It looks very yellow to me so I'm wondering how your corals are doing? Do you have any algae issues? My v1's are set at 82% on all 4 channels.
