Channels 1 and 4 (blue/UV violet) are at 95% max while 2 and 3 ("white") are at 25% max. I ramp up from 9 - 12 and then ramp down 9-10pm. I also have 2 OR120 (blue+) that I run from 10am to 10pm.

My lights must be in different channels but that makes sense. Thank you

Then it's the opposite like mine. 1 and 4 are the "white, orange, red and cyan" I think. And 2,3 are the uv and blue, on my compacts

I had to check my setup to be sure. Yes, I wrote it wrong in my first post. 2 and 3 are the "blue" channels.
Thank you. Yeah I'm pretty sure I torched my acros then. Went from 1 and 4 at 25% and 2 and 3 at 50% to 50 and 100

So every time you add a new frag do you start your lights on a lower intensity and then raise them 5% each week? Do you just add multiple frags at the same time or just a few a year?

Do you run this schedule on LPS or SPS tanks? White spectrum seems low?
