How blue is that? I have been running the coral color and growth program since June now and I ran it about 1 year prior to moving as well.

corey
On your app- there are 3 circles- first is quicket, middle is program.
On quickset, you will see channel 1-2-3-4
I have channel one (white) on 12%
two at 77 percent (blue)
three at 65% (UV and others)
four at 10 percent which is red/green)

For new coral, you can use the acclimation setting for 2-2 days then resume to current lighting

I love my orphek!!! I’ve had it now for almost 4.5 months.

I have a 40 breeder with the full-size atlantik v4 I believe it’s 14” above the surface. Mixed reef with soft, lps and most recently in getting into sps.

My program is on the low side of the intensity. Channels 1&4 peak at 35%, 2 at 45%, channel 3 at 40%, I love the color the light puts out, it’s not overly blue at all, but a crispy white blue. But I have it mostly blue during the ramp up and down portions of the program to enjoy the colors for a little bit everyday.

So that original post is pretty old and my schedule had increased in intensity over the last 3 years. Just recently my orphek wifi gateway stopped working so I no longer have control of the light and I can’t access the program I run. It still operates, but I can’t change it or even see what settings it’s in. I need to contact orphek about repair or getting a new one.

This is all I can find in my photos, but basically channel 1 and 4 where identical, the blue channel 2 is the most intense, the Uv channel 3 is slightly less intense than the blue 2. Channel 3 was identical to 1 and 4 on ramp up, but then increased in intensity along with with the blue channel 2, it ramps down slightly faster than the blue. You should be able match it pretty close with these photos of the schedule.

and here’s a photo of the tank probably 6 months ago. The intensity of the light has increased over time, I also raised it to 16-18” over the surface too.
