[xxxAngeloxxx]

Blue and white for 9 hours straight?

Mine start about about 9 am to 9 pm

Ken what time are the blue's and white's only? Or all them turn at the same time?

Its a combination of both and as the day goes along the lights increase

Blues and reds from noon till midnight. Whites 1pm till 11pm

You use red lights for your tank? I would like to this how it looks with red lights on.

Yes they are 10% but you can tell the difference. I posted pics the last few nights in my DIY thread if you want to see. Warning I am bad with pics but it will give you an idea. Still working to get the perfect mix.

And with this timing combo of lights that you have do you see all your corals open up better?

I get good polyp extension on my blue stag and birds nest and my acro. The newer stuff from the swap seems to be enjoying the cycle so far.

How many timers are you use and which kind too.

 

[IamRobG]

Acan timers are built in to the unit and the lights are dimmable which makes the control easy. But like the AI Sol's, you get what you pay for. Not cheap lights at all, it took me a year to finally take the plunge but my coral's are very happy. I went from 8 T5's to this on my 125.

No the problem isn't me getting leds I can get them but I'm just wondering what's every one led timing on their tanks. So I can have an idea on what time I can have my leds timed for. I will be going from 216 watts of T5's to 240 watts of leds.
