Have you created an unequivocally awesome lighting schedule for your Radion lights?

Do you want to go down in the journals of history as the hobbyist that created "The Schedule" ?

If you have a schedule that just can't be beat, export it, and share it with those who are just getting started.



I recently switch to the PROs and am still fine tuning my schedule, but it won't be long before awesomeness is shinning all over the place.

My schedules came from Ecotech themselves.
Custom made for the SPS tank.
One schedule I changed a bit on the UV side but stayed with range and level of intensity on the rest.
Can't do it better my self.

Although I have to say that every schedule is different in the users mind view.
What you like is maybe not what I like to see of the appearance of a reef tank.

Is it one of the six templates that is available on ESL?

I think most of us want to see good growth and great coral color, wouldn't you agree?

No it's not, those are standard.
The schedules that I have are custom made by their reef guru's while they did a logmein session, and over looking it with the WIFI camera as that is part of the ESL too.
All controlled by the reeflink.

Color is the main part, growth will be next.
As growth is a little bit slower than the proven MH lights, I get more compact growth out of most SPS.
And who wants to cut frags every weekend and sell them for a lot of money...............
It's hobby to me, more fun to enjoy it.
Wish you guys were local cause most time I give frags away.

Would you be so kind to upload your schedule? I'd love to see what you've got and modify it to my tastes.

You should also add how far above your tank your lights are running.

Following....i'm at 30% in color mode still watching and learning after 6 months. My Radion Pro is 8" above the water line of my 20" deep 40 gallon SPS Reef. Growth has been obvious while color has not.

Here is the schedule I have been using. Seems to be working okay. Although I am getting pretty good growth, I am getting some strange coloration on a few on my SPS. Some of them are awesome and a few others have almost bleached. Not sure why.

I run my lights 14" above the water at 35% intensity. I have 8 Radions.

Steve,

I love the fact you have 8 bad boys over your tank.
There can be other factors for some of the corals being bleached or light in color.
Looking at your schedule I must say you using too much stage points.
Also with 14" above the surface of the water and you run only 35% you might bring back the White leds to max 50% or lower and increase the intensity slowly to 50%.
Take your time on this, say increase 1% everyday.
Green and red can be also increased a bit to 90% for both.
That should be easy as I see you run a reeflink as all your light as setup wireless.
