My Tank Thread
Bump. Anyone have lighting schedules?

I have two of the RB Photon 32 inch V2 lights over a 150 gallon tank. (72" L x 18" W x 29 " T)
The lights sit in a canopy approx. 8 inches off the water.
On my current schedule the lights come on at 0800 hrs. and go off at 2100 hrs.
From 0800 - 0900 hrs. lights are set at 40 % all blues. All other leds are off.
From 0900 - 1700 hrs. red and green leds are set at 10 %, white at 12 %, and blues at 65 %.
From 1700 hrs. to 2000 hrs. I'm back to all blues at 40 % and all other leds are off.
From 2000 hrs. to 2100 hrs. the only led on is the royal blue at 5%.

I have a 48" V2+ mounted 12" above the tank running the following schedule or something fairly close to it.
I tried my best to mirror the CoralLab AB+/lps schedule with a 8 hour full day run with a slow ramp up and down.
7-10 am slow ramp on all channels from 1%-10%.
11-12 am ramp to full intensity R/G ramp to 17/12% respectively, Blues go from 17% to 70%, white increases from 10% to 27%.
12-8 pm lights maintain ramped power levels with no changes.
8-9 PM, red, green, white drop to off full off. Blues drop back to 17%.
9-12 blues drop to minimal levels. Ch5 drops to 5% then to 0% by 10pm, Ch4 and 6 drop to 5% then down 10 1% at 10pm. Ch 4 & 6 stay on until 12am then full off.
1-2 am ch1 red only at 1% for night time pest inspection.
I get 250 par at the top of my rockwork for my sps and 90- 120 on the sand bed depending on location for my lps.
I'll have to post my spreadsheet with my schedule and lighting graph at some point.
