Could some one share the schedule you using.
Love the color. Have 2 over my cube.

I'll post some better pics when I dial it in!

Lets see your schedules. Just curious on people's color tastes.

Looks great, what lens you running? I'm running all 40 degrees thinking about changing back to 70's

Spazdad · 03/11/2013, 05:14 PM

All 100s. But I've only had them over the cube for a few days.

Spazdad · 03/11/2013, 05:18 PM

Before with one. Which I thought was to unsaturated. I want my lamp shade back !

These photos were taking at 2am. Lol

Has anyone tried switching out bulbs to different bulb temperatures? I'm interested in swapping out a couple of the cool whites for Something else. When all channels are on 100% the tank is too white for my liking. Please give some suggestions

I'm in the same boat. I plan to not run the A channel for now...

Have there been any firmware updates?

darthvader · 05/16/2014, 02:45 AM

Bump from the dead! Can somebody share their time points and percentages?? Thank you.

darthvader · 05/16/2014, 10:54 PM

Guessing everyone moved on to different lights or out of the hobby?

arsenic · 05/17/2014, 06:17 AM

Moved to different lights. I ended up selling them to a guy that said he was going to use them for plants after swapping out some of the leds. He called me a few weeks after and told me an entire row had gone out. I recommended that he call the distributor - never heard from him again though.

I changed lights because I also changed tanks. It was cost prohibitive, for me, to upgrade the Maxpects on the new tank.

Thanks for replying. Seems like these never did take off. From some of the pics provided looks like they will do well. Hope I hear from a current user that can share some info. Thanks again.

Hello more users out there? I just got 4 of these for my 400 gal. I believe I need 2 more to beef it up or should I add 2 Ecotechs or Kessels or Hydras?

usingthejohn · 09/28/2014, 11:32 PM

I also got rid of the LEDs. I liked the integrated controller and the native light schedules within it...but my corals just never responded to these lights, even after I added 4 T5s.

arsenic · 09/30/2014, 04:34 AM

Just 4 on a 400? For a fowlr might be ok. Of you're doing sps, you'll need a lot more I suspect.
