Photon V2+ 24" Lighting Schedule

[ReefGrammie]

Here is my current schedule. I'm still toying with the section highlighted in yellow very slowly. I would like to bring the blues up to 55-60% and maybe the white up some more. The tank is still a little bit too blue for my liking during the day. I have the 50" fixture mounted in a canopy, about 8 inches above the water line, on my 90-gallon tank.

Just purchased a 48 and now look for a light schedule. Do they also have preset manual schedules ?
Going on a waterbox 110

Sorry to revive an old thread. Looking to buy photon 24 v2+ for a 65 gallon tank (36x18x24) and was wondering if the one would be enough for mainly soft/lps corals?

Yes.
One will be just fine for soft and lps corals.

@Dj City, this isn't my current schedule, but the one I used over my 40g when I only ran one Photon. Now I have a 90g tank and it's 30" front to back, so I have 2 Photons for coverage and a trick look. The front one is very much like the schedule below and the one in back is much more blue. It makes the tank look like it's even more than 30" thick. BTW, my front fixture now runs some red and green (10% to 20% and back to 10%) during peak hours from 11am to 3 pm. But I really don't know that it makes any difference.

I am a reefer with 10 years up and I dont know what I am doing. Just restarting after a break with a new 2ft cube and a 24" Photon V2+ so I will use your schedule above with gratitude. Much obliged.

Mindi, if you have any questions about anything related to the Reef Breeder Photon or the EverGrow (basically the same fixture with a few different leds), feel free to ask. I dealt with EverGrow for a couple of years when I worked for OceanRevive. I have a variety of Photons over 3 tanks and a good working relationship with Logan (the owner of Reef Breeders). BTW, I also have a PAR meter so I can understand what my lighting is doing. I don't consider myself an 'expert' when it comes to all things 'light' related, but I think I'm pretty knowledgeable.

Hope this works /helps
This allows you to put in intensity on blue Chanel and sets the rest automatically.

Ron,lm buying the photon in a week or two and was wondering what height your running yours. My tank is 12" wide and 18" deep. Standard 55g. I'm concerned whether this tank is too narrow giving me too much spill over if I go too high.

Hi, just so you know when buying, they come with 90 degree lens but you can request 120's. I took mine completely out., but I have mine running only about 5 in off of water.

I didn't know that. I'll look into it. Thanks.
