Hi all I have a s reefbreeders photon v2. I was wondering if anyone else were running these light's. And what do you have them set on at the peak during the day. Thanks

If the current was the non lensed one it doesn't pack a big punch, esp compared to the Photon(great choice BTW). The photon is probably a little more than 4 times more powerful.Well the tank is 18" deep I am about 9" from the top of the tank. Today I turned up my Blue cahnel 3 to 50% I had a current LED on the tank but I had it at 100% on everything, after I turned up the Blue today things look a little happier lol I maybe have far to much surface movement but It won't hurt anything just get a lot of flicker in the camera
sound great. Im modding my lights again today a bit. Priorities ya know. I think Reefbreeders has the specs on their site, you can get a good idea of the capabilities there.Thanks I will probably Hang this light but I haven't had time, plus I am going to get my shop to make a SS bar to hang it with too then go to find something to cover the tank when I drill the ceiling, I will leave it on it's legs I think till the end of February that's when I will slow down for a bit
I looked at them for quite a while. nems are soo weird.I am really liking these lights my nem was ok under my other light but really didn't seem happy. He really didn't like it when I changed my light, but today he looks good today

Your tank looks good, I am at 50% right now my nem is much happier nowI have mine kinda high then. Started low and ended up with 80% at peek with all channels except channel 4 (white) which is at 45% at peek. Lights are 12 1/2 inches from the water.
Ramps starts at 9am and end at 9pm. 3pm being peek.
I don't run photons but when I went led. It took awhile for my corals to acclimate to them and a very long time before I could slowly increase to higher settings so my SPS growth would kick back in.I notice that most of you have these lights set at much higher settings than I. I have been running a photon 24 about 8 inches above a standard 65 gal. tank, with softies and LPS (just the bulbs, no lenses). I have been keeping the white lights at one third of the blue lights (which I love the look of), with white coming on at 1% at 7 a.m. and increasing every half hour until peaking at 51% blue/17% white and white going off at 7:30 p.m., with only blue for 1.5 hours before and after.
Is anyone having trouble with corals at the higher settings? I find that, other than green star polyps, corals don't seem to survive very long in the upper third of the tank. I'm actually considering lowering the settings and cutting an hour off the schedule to also help fight algae growth. Certain gorgonians are growing like weeds at all levels.
Any recommendations?
