Hello everybody!
I have a photon v2 on a 36 bow and it's a "big" improvement from what I had running before. I have started getting more and more sps frags just to have the color change a few days after being in the tank and with little to no growth. Switched to this light and have been getting awesome growth but color is seriously lacking. After doing some research I noticed that maybe the schedule was a little off and the intensity as well. So I changed my schedule to match the sps ab+ schedule and intensity. 9 hours photoperiod with 7 hours core intensity. I did noticed a good change. Corals are starting to color up but not sure of the par readings and if the green, red and white channels should be increase more. I know that the schedule is for another light but the logic behind it has been researched. I think when properly dialed in this will be a really good schedule for an SPS dominant tank. Have anyone heard of this schedule before and if so how can I implement this schedule with the photon v2? Maybe Logan will comment...[emoji57]
