Found a N. America distributor and support for Vertex. I called him and he indicated that he provides support for the Illumina LED

I have some extra modules too if anyone is interested.

What modules do you have?

[scuzy]

I need to check I think they are reds

Just picked up my Illumina 360. This light is awesome. Can't wait for my new tank to be finished and throw this over that

[boostedvq]

Question. Is there a way to download the Vertex Illumina software for an iMac?

[scuzy]

There is a Mac version I believe

Their website isn't loading. I'm going to call customer service tomorrow but was wondering if there was elsewhere to download it.

[scuzy]

I haven't downloaded it in awhile but I had use it on my macbook. You'll want to be a few feet from light to program it.

I have the 260 (12 inch light) on a 20" 34 gal tank and have been thinking of upgrading the tank to a 36 inch tank. Will my light spread be enough for a 3 ft tank ?

[boostedvq]

Here's the spread on my tank. It's a 54 x 40 x 22, light is a 36" unit. It's mounted about 7" over the tank.

I replied above this with photos of the spread on my tank.

There is a Mac version but it is not supported by the current OS. The last mac update loaded a security setting that blocks the usb dongle from being recognized.

Complete PITA.

Praying for a vertex update to address the problem.

Here is my full tank shot from last month:

Great tank! What are your light settings?

Thanks. I've been struggling with my sps growth and can't figure out if it's my light settings (uv I suspect is too high) or P04 deficiency. Always comes in at 0.00 with a Hanna checker.

How high are your lights above the water?

Only 4" above water line.

Hi please can someone tell me how I should have my lighting for corals
eg: I would like to have the blue lights slowly changing to white then back to the blue.
I would like to have the blue lights on from about 9pm straight through to 7am , then turn off, and to start up again about 3pm starting agan with the blue to the white then diming down again towards 9pm.
At the moment when the lights come on between 3pm & 9pm the clour looks like it is moon light , and makes the tank look very yellowish , not the nice looking white with a spec of blue

if that makes sense?

Have problem with v link. Need help!
So my old computer crash, could not get anything off of it,(windows 7), got new one now(windows 10) Here's the problem.

Upgraded my 34 Solana to a Red Sea Reefer 170. Turned everything off to make tank transfer. Now my light's time is messed up. Tried to download software on new computer but it is not working. Tried to use my v link but nothing will load. Is it compatible with windows 10? How can I get this to work?

[notclear]

I can confirm that it is working for me on a Windows 10 computer. I just installed it as usual.

I need help please. I have a 260 with custom programming. When there is a power loss to the house the light reverts back into demo mode. I don't remember it doing this before. It's not a problem when I am home and can upload the program again but if away then it's a real problem. How do I get it to go back to the intended program when the power returns? Thanks

[notclear]

After you copy the program to the light, you also need to click the Startup button.

It sounds like the the little watch size battery, that holds all the program, date, etc, has gone flat. The battery needs replacing. If you want to know how to do it, ask me while its still fresh in this old memory. I have just done this on a 360.

johnyfalco, please post away for future reference. I'm sure it will come in handy.
