    I'm curious to know what everyone has their RB controllable units set at for the custom hourly schedule? Both Ch1 & Ch2.

    Anyone willing to share this information?

    This is a ton of light and I have come up to this, slowly. If you have just gotten the fixture, I would go much slower.

    Wow you go by the half hour! I started with the factory settings and slowly adjusted them. I've been playing with them a lot this week. I got a nice piece of LR with a ton of coralline algae on it and the top of the rock is fried:cry:

    That is why I asked for other peoples lighting schedule. The few corals that I have in the tank seem to like what I had but I didn't think the colors popped as much as they should so that's why i've been tinkering with them.

    yeah I do 1/2 hours. To start out, I was at Channel 1 at 55 and channel 2 at 45 max with a shorter run than I am using now.
