Programming with Bluefish

[Annahra]

Can anyone give me some pointers? I'm coming from 2x36w 50/50 PCs (measured about 18-20 lux with phone app at 2") and my tank is about 12" deep (Nano Cube). I want to eventually ramp up the lighting but don't want to shock anything. I have various softies with a lepto dead center on the sand bed and a stylo up near the surface. I'd eventually like to keep a crocea clam. These are the settings I'm using right now, with lights on 8AM-9PM and 120 min morning and evening (just installed lights today, a NanoBox large retro kit). I prefer a more white look to the eye which I'm having trouble nailing, but good growth and health in my corals are more important. I have all of the active weather effects turned off and these settings give me 20-22K lux (phone app at 2") at midday.

Thanks!!

It's the setup for most all of his lights.

Hey thank you for sharing it!!!

Thanks Denise! I found that thread and have been playing with it but it does seem like my channels are showing up oddly. I did go ahead and drop him an email. Which light do you have, and does your Bluefish look like this??

I have the Nanobox Quad Plus. My controller looks like this on iPhone:

Okay, got my channels labeled (hopefully) correctly, so now I'm feeling like I have a handle on this!

Dave from Nano Box emailed me back first thing this morning. By then I had most everything labeled correctly but he still took a few minutes to jump onto my account and double-check everything. Great service!
