Reefbreeder Light settings help

[cally2k]

Hello all I have 3 reefbreeders mounted 12 inches above my 300 gallon tank. I am all Euphilliya. Does anyone have good settings I can use that implements Sun up to Sun down like Radions do. Or is there a site where users share their settings? I have the app I dont control via remote.

While we are waiting on other Reef Breeder users to chime in, let's also see if @Reef Breeders can help. Good luck - they are great lights!

I have ReefBreeders Photon v2 over the majority of my tank I do a short ramp to peak then leave it low blues for the evening til about 10p. They’re about 8 inches above the tank . At peak (for about 8 hrs)
Channel
1-15%
2–15%
3-68%
4-1% just to make so it isn’t super blue
5-68%
6-68%

I run mine red, green and white 5% and all the rest at 35% with a peak of 45% . This is two 32s over a 36x24x24" SPS tank. I think mine are 10" above the water.
Personally I would recommend trying to borrow, rent or buy a par meter. I like to set lights up so the tank is pleasing to me visually then I adjust percentages to get the par I need.

EDIT : I have sunrise set at 10am and sunset 10pm. The lights start ramping up at 10 then off at 10. That can always be adjusted to what you prefer. I keep moonlights disabled.

I kinda do. It’s not all on/off. There’s a fairly short ramp in the morning but a very slow ramp down during the evening til til about 10 when they go off for the night.

I run 2 photon 50's over my 59×30×21 system
Red 30%
White 50%-70%
The rest 70%.

The white ramps from 50% to 70% and stays that way for 2 hours mid day.

Im getting 300-350 par across my rocks which are 5-7" off the bottom.

Tanks comming up on 5 months in a week.

Corraline really taking off now.
