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.
