Photon 60-w reefbreeders light schedule problem
I am trying to stick with my photon 60-w but can't find the perfect light schedule I have 180 72x24x24 tank with sps, Lps and a few softies. Can anybody help? Colors are not popping at all just can't figure out the programming

You called your fixture a Photon 60-w. I don't think RB ever sold a 60" Photon fixture, did they? What levels are you running for blue and white? How long during each day are they at the higher settings?
When I had two of the old 32" Photons over my 180g sps & lps reef tank, I did a 5 hour sunrise, 4 hour midday and 6 hour sunset. Midday was 90% blue and 40% white. I'd recommend you start with settings 10 to 20 lower and acclimate the corals unless you've been runing them at high levels before..

It is the first version 120 total leds https://www.reefbreeders.com/shop/photon-60-w/. The three channels is what gets me . I ramp up starting at 7 with two hours then lights to white 65 and blue 45 for two urs athe peak so it's a 12 hr interval. Just not making corals pop thinking of adding a blue led strip to bring out color.
