Wondering what your settings are at? just got this light today after my standard led blew. So many buttons! have it setup on a 20g with two clowns
 
I have the pro. I’m not sure the settings would be equivalent but 100% blue, 65%white, 5% red, and 35% green. I am ramping up the whites 5% every week thus far.

i have the regular one so it may not be the same? but did you have issues setting your timer? i set mine to come on at 7am and off around 21:00 but it never turns off or turns on at any times i set... and it shows the timer icon? confused if i’m missing something or it’s busted

Hello,

So the default button and enter is your best friend on the remote. You must press enter each time for each item or it won’t save. The presets are actually really good and have proven to be very productive in my tank. Now I use the much higher version than what you have so they have their own remote. However the setup is still the same, and I have the loops system for everything else in my tank. The first time is a little annoying but after you do it once your good to go.

I would keep Red and green under 10%, it would be a good way to grow alage. You can also get the Bluetooth device and set timers and what not on your phone which is even easier.’
 
I had two orbit ic over a 20 long. It was nice, but I couldn't get growth out of my montipora so I switch to t5.

All the settings were nice for about a week, then you forget about them. And be ready to reset everything if there's a power outage.

The one seeing I really used was "clean" mode. It really made the algae stand out and actually helped cleaning the tank.

thanks! I double hit the enter button to be sure i was doing it right, set it after a minute of the current time and it went off. so relieved!
