DaveFason Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Please share your settings on your Storm controller, tank size/style and even a photo or two. This will only help people out and give insight to what others are running. I will start. 12" picO Naked Cube Blue Channel : 120 White Channel : 90 Start Time : 8:00 AM End Time : 9:00 PM Ramp Time : 60 Ramp Delay : White Channel - 30 I will post a FTS but this is all I had loaded. -Dave Link to comment

gsgentry Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 White: 90 Blue: 130 Can someone explain to me what the ramp delay does? I haven't touched it. It delays a channel(s) for a certain amount of time. So you can have your whites kick on and then your blues will turn on whenever you set the delay to (or any other channel for that matter). So if your lights come on a 8:00am, and you delay your blue channel 30 minutes, the blues won't come on until 8:30am. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Greg nailed it. The ramp delay, delays that channel for an extended period of time. What most people will do is put a delay on the white channel to have the blues come on first. This thread is already being useful. Keep them coming! -Dave Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Quick question about the Storm controller. Will the cloud effects occur while the lights are ramping up/down (sunrise/sunset)? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 To my knowledge, no. I'd like to tell everyone what my storm controller settings are, but....... I don't have one!!! Lets get you set up! -Dave Link to comment
Kellie in CA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 One more question... If I want to make it look more blue when the cloud covers, what do I set the cloud channels to? I tried a few things and got some interesting results. Link to comment

skyscraper2290 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Pretty curious as to why most people with a nanobox have their blue settings higher than their white levels? Personally I have been setting my whites almost double to the blues as I feel that it gives a more natural look, correct me if I'm wrong though. Currently I have had the light above my tank for about a week and am waiting for a diatom bloom so I can get a CUC in my tank. Who knows though maybe I will crank my blues higher once I start getting stuff in my tank, but I would love to hear some reasoning behind the idea of having a higher blue setting. Link to comment

metrokat Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 My T5s have a lot of the blue spectrum so I try to balance it out with the LEDs Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 It is all a personal preference with the color spectrum. Just like old school 6500K halides to newer 20K spectrum. That is the joys with LEDs. Link to comment
