Hi all.....again :)

if you don't mind i'de like to run through the lighting %'s and times i have running to see if I'm way over running or under running my LED's

I am currently running an LED light called Sanrise (Aquasanrise) . i have the 90 version.
not sure if you need the actual led spec (type) but they are...Cree...XLamp and XT-E ( not a scooby as to what that means)

so my start time and levels are....
9am A: 27% B: 22% C: 21%
10:30am A: 45% B: 40% C: 46%
11:30am A: 65% B: 71% C: 66%
17:30pm A: 47% B: 56% C: 47%
22:00pm A: 34% B: 39% C: 25%
23:00pm 0% 0% 0%

The unit is about 10 inches from the water level.

thanks :)
 
not a lot in the tank at the moment, have been having algae problems since set up......only a few small frags sps...and a couple of duncan colonies and some candy canes.
 
What leds are on what channels? Also from your schedule it looks like your running your lights for 14 hours? I'd bump that down to 10 hours 12 at the very most.
Can't really give anyb other suggestions without knowing what colors are on what channels.
