I've noticed that the manual I have with my Maxspect P series is different from the manual I downloaded from the CoralVue site with respect to the LEDs included in channels C and D. I have three P series units over my 93 Gallon cube and I believe one of my units is different from the other two. Just looking at the LEDS by channel, it appears that the LED color is different on the one unit compared to the other two. While changing optics, I noticed a number inside each unit. Is there a way to confirm if I have two different LED configurations on my lights - perhaps by the number I noticed? I'd like them to be the same, but without taking off an actual LED, they don't seem to have any markings that indicate what each LED "bulb" is. In short, I'd like to know if there is a way I can confirm whether or not I actually have two different production runs.
Also, When I programmed P1, everything seemed to go ok until all the LEDs where supposed to go off (I have all four channels programmed to off on TP8, TP8 is turned on). The first night, two channels remained on after they should have turned off. The second night, all channels innitially went off at the correct time. However I went to check on the tank several hours later and found that two channels where turned on to two and three percent. I confirmed that there was no programming indicating the lights should be on, but yet there it was. Is there something I can do to reset the units or something? Is there something else I can check to ensure my tank goes dark?
Finally, I was curious if there were any plans to have any sort of computer interface for these lights? I was on the fence between these lights and another brand, in the end the full light spectrum and configuration options offered by the Maxspect units won me over. However I do still wonder about the ability to control them via computer.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
