Straton X presets

[Waters]

What preset is everyone using with their Straton X lights? I started with the mixed reef but the blues on these kind of seem to wash things out....wondering if I should switch to one of the whiter SPS templates and adjust from there (over an Acro tank).

I've never used Straton lights but with my Noopsyche and my AI lights, I add in the blues until I have it as bright as I want at peaks and then I bring in each of the other colors until I hit the "pleasant to my eyes" spectrum. I'll make minor adjustments along the way if I notice corals responding negatively.

Thanks for the response. I have never had any issues dialing in lights with the exception of these. I ended going with a much whiter spectrum (which I believe these Stratus X lights are designed to run) and it made a huge difference....both in looks and acros coloring up.

I'm using the SPS setting. It's very white during the day, but it is pushing a lot of growth. The florescence at the end of the cycle is nice as well.

I ended up using the shallow reef setting but the SPS preset is nice also.

I am using the SPS setting on my end. Really like the look and you also get the blue at the end which I appreciate.
