Try turning back the whites about 10% then reduce the reds until the blue color pleases your eye. You may also want to increase the blues 5-10%. IMHO

Where is the sunrise/set option on the new firmware?

Timer setup easy

Sunrise sunset is the ramp time, you can pick blue or white here too.

Thanks. Turning down the whites by 10% helped a lot. Really haven't had the chance to "play" with the lights yet.

My Director just shipped ;-)

EDAT6 · 07/26/2013, 06:45 PM

I wonder if they are going to ship in waves or to everyone.
Did you receive a shipment notification email?
Can't wait to get mine!

jonnyeatworld · 07/26/2013, 07:50 PM

Gotta be waves bc I didn't receive my notification yet.

pwfletcher · 07/26/2013, 10:19 PM

jonthany · 07/26/2013, 10:20 PM

I wonder how many betas they are actually sending out???

So did I.
Maybe I will get an email in the next couple of days.

Parker420 · 07/27/2013, 12:03 AM

I hope to order Vega's soon

chemisfun11 · 07/27/2013, 06:13 AM

I ordered the director rather quickly after I got the initial invite. Got the tracking info myself and it should arrive Monday. Too bad I won't have it to play with this weekend

I'm wondering if a separate thread should be started for the director...or if there will be a forum created by AI for this to get feedback.

Just sold all 4 of my VEGAs.
I simply could not get the SPS and coral growth I was looking for with them.

I wish that had not been the case, but I was tired of watching colors fade, and needing to move corals out of the system and under other light to save them.

Are some of you getting really good growth with yours? I have talked to a few other owners in person and they were having a similar experience.

Wetline · 07/30/2013, 01:16 PM

Vega owners with custom pucks. Do the non-default colors in the new custom pucks show up as individual channels with the wireless controller? If I replace a Royal Blue with a UV will the new UV be controlled by the Royal Blue channel? Do UV, violet or any other non default color have their own control in the wireless controller?

Not having an issue with growth but think the spectrum could use some attention in the UV/Violet range like the hydras have. The redish corals don't look as vibrant as I'd like. Might replace a puck on the two vegas I have but being able to control the new colors separately would be nice.

NYCEnglish · 07/30/2013, 01:29 PM

What did you replace them with?

Following along.

My Vegas have clear optics. I know Hydras have frosted optics. Does anyone here have Vegas with frosted optics?

Wonder if frosted optics are better (help reduce disco ball effect) and are worth swapping out.
