jack1978 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 That you got your rock?? Ha, ya right. I'm guessing it'll show up on Monday...not Saturday. But, the day is young. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Ha, ya right. I'm guessing it'll show up on Monday...not Saturday. But, the day is young. And I forgot about the time change so it would mean that they actually delivered rock at like the crack of dawn which for sure wouldn't happen! Link to comment
patback Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 Lol. Believe me the second I get that light I will have pictures posted on here. Link to comment

What kind of lights were you running before? I was running PCs so the switch to LEDs probably helped with me bleaching the crap out of stuff. What's with the channel 6? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Enable Natural Sun. Set Midday to 30% on both channels (or adjust them to equal 60, so white at 20, blue at 40, etc etc), and leave it at that for a couple of weeks to let everything adjust. Then you can start raising the percentage if your corals want it, but change it by no more than 5% every week, every other week being preferable for the best adjustment. Link to comment

I was running PCs so the switch to LEDs probably helped with me bleaching the crap out of stuff. What's with the channel 6? 15 watts of deep blue LEDs. Enable Natural Sun. Set Midday to 30% on both channels (or adjust them to equal 60, so white at 20, blue at 40, etc etc), and leave it at that for a couple of weeks to let everything adjust.

I'll set that up as soon as possible. You dirty ####### rat!!!! Hook it up, man! Turn it way down....don't fry your coral. This isn't my though still. Link to comment

I have all of them set to 31% and the tank looked pretty dim. Link to comment
ReefWeeds Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 so just to double check, all 6 colors should equal 60? I have all of them set to 31% and the tank looked pretty dim. Actually your whites should be set to one channel (so channel 1) and your blues are channel 2. The rest of the channels shouldn't be active unless you opted for the moonlight upgrade and that would be channel 3. So if you like bluer light, set that channel to 40 and whites to 20 which equals 60 Link to comment
patback Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 You're putting a gyre in? Psht. Of course! Link to comment

I'm assuming it's just that first blue one and the 2nd red one for the whites? Knew it! Nah. Link to comment
