TIA

I don't have anything in the tank that needs light at this time, however that will change soon.

It's a standard 75g corner overflow marineland tank with a 55g sump.

I've programmed the custom mode to one of the samples in the manual (I think the mixed reef sample where no channel exceeds 40%) that came with the light, however I'd like to see what others are using or have developed and saved in a spreadsheet.

I'd do the same and pull different ones as the system advances.

Thanks again!
 
I just ordered mine as well and will be using this one.

Thanks Tom, I'm using the softie/fowlr settings now. Yours I'm sure are perfect for your occupants and perhaps one day I'll be there too.

I run mine very similar to this. I have channels 3,5,6 maxed out at 90% and channels 1,2,4 maxed out at 30%. The biggest difference is that I do a bigger ramp up and down time.
 
Thanks, not much to see yet as it's only a few weeks old. Cycle is done and now time for a few corals and fish.

I prefer a longer ramp up and down, also. Would you mind sharing your entire program?

Thanks
 
Yes, I can share when I get home tonight....stay tuned.
 
Here’s my current schedule. I like it on the whiter more natural side but the pop is still there. Sorry it’s sideways, I’m on my phone and it won’t rotate for me.

Thanks so much...what do you have in the tank? A pic would be great!
 
Late night blues with a gel filter. I run a mixed reef. Lots of sps, leathers, acans, euphyllia, duncans, blasto.

Thanks for the heads up. I usually don't leave it in the tank but I have been extra lazy lately :(
