I currently have an AI Prime 16HD over my IM 14G tank. Since I don't have any corals, I just kinda winged the lighting so I could see things better. Since I'd like to get corals soon, I wanted to spend some time to get a good lighting schedule going.

I decided to scale down the Saxby setting from AI. I spent the afternoon plotting the data points in Excel, reducing the intensity by 40% and rebuilding it in the app.

Toward the end of rebuilding it, I realized if you used two fingers you could proportionally scale things up and down, and move the on / off time. OMG, RIP the past 4 hours of my life.

The software is much slicker than I thought, I wish they would have included a better instruction manual. Need to spend more time going over the resources on their website.

So overall, I spent 4 hours doing what I could have done in 30 seconds....and feel like the dumbest man alive.
 
It's all good... If you ever change your lighting to kessil spectralx controller, that planning work will come in handy... lol It took me the better part of a day plotting my lighting schedule...
