I don’t have a par meter and since I don’t really have any corals yet I copied another users schedule that you can see on the app.the app gets a lot of criticism on here but it does what you need it to.
It does but it prehistoric compared to the Orphek iCon App, which I use on another tank. ReefBreeders told me they're working on it.
 
Meridian 24 first impression.....WOW! As promised, no plastics in the packaging, obvious quality, sturdy yet sleek, beautiful design, and impressive output. There is perfect spacing within the LED clusters and between the two groups in the Meridian 24. There are powerful and numerous LEDs in the near violet range, and the blues....wow. The 3.5K and the 5.5k LEDs are so nice. What a quality light! I was concerned about the app, coming from AI, but the app functioned perfectly and is very user-friendly. I was able to choose @VintageReefer schedule from the community tab with a few clicks. My next step is to setup a custom schedule to mimic my modified Saxby Schedule from my Primes, which will be no problem at all. I can add as many segments as I want to each of the channels. AWESOME! I will track my present par readings throughout the day soon, and match my Meridian as close as I can. The journey starts soon. Pics coming soon.

I’m excited for you!

I like the app. It works well, and the community schedule sharing is integrated perfectly. And yes, you can have tons of segments if you like that zig zag type of highs and lows to mimic clouds. It’s easy to program and use, and it’s only going to get better in the future as they add more enhancements.

Meridians have actually converted me to a white light user. When you look at pics, the clues for someone using heavy blues isn’t the coral, it’s the objects around the coral..the frag shelves, plug stems, rock, sand etc

A few of these pics are heavy blue, but a lot of them aren’t and instead are a day spectrum with whites turned up higher than the blues. The corals still have great color and fluorescence

Thank u and sent. 👍👍
I notified Logan about your issue. He said he would look into it however he’s currently on vacation and I have no way to contact him for the next week. He is the only one who can look into this or else I’d have done it by now.
 
I can’t wait to get mine installed to replace my photons! My setup currently is a 48” and a 24” photon v2 over my 180 gallon. The new setup based on talks with reefbreeders will be three 24” meridians with one over each open top section of the 180 running front to back.

For what it’s worth, I spoke with Logan at reefbreeders over the phone and I was asking him about transitioning the lights as far as intensity. I do have a par meter, but he recommended to set the par maybe 10% less than where I am currently because some of the UV on the new meridians will not pick up on the meter.

I am just waiting on a few bolts I ordered from reefbreeders that are longer that fit into the top T track in order to attach them to a 1010 series 8020 frame. Plan is to hang the frame that suspends the lights.

Your light is scheduled to arrive today. Sometimes delays happen. I know they are never fun.
Just keep an eye on your delivery notes. They do a good job of keeping you updated.

ive got my meridian 24 and meridian 45 set up on the app under 2 different tanks, and they are not grouped, but whenever i make a change to the schedule on one light it carrys the same settings to the other light even if i name the schedule differently. i pulled in @VintageReefer schedule and changed the times but the spectrum looks nothing like the pictures you posted here regardless of time of day (even late at night) and when i tried the moonlight , the lighting looked like a very light blueish green and was not very appealing to look at and also very bright imo. any input as to why im having these issues?

I backed off the cool blues and increased the whites. Try the manual mode for a bit to get them where you like them. Those cool blues had a washed out Blue+ T5 look. Increasing the whites should clear things up visually for you without adding too much brightness.

are you referring to the issue with the moonlight ?

Would need screenshots of the apps showing the channels graph and moonlight settings

Not sure why changing settings on one light with one schedule would affect a second light on its own schedule

I think I fixed the schedule between the 2 light thing(I hope) but here’s the moonlight setting with the graph

Reefbreeders has longer bolts available? I designed a set of mounts to match the Meridian to my current Primes and Blades until I can transition to all Meridian but the screws are too short. I was going to look into barrel nuts but longer bolts would be cleaner. These are just test prints using the PETG that happened to be installed on my printer since I still need to resolve the screw height issue.

if you go to our customer service portal I think Logan has longer bolts. Just send us a message and he will reply to it soon.
