Lighting schedules gone wild!

Seems like if you post a picture of your reef on Facebook these days everyone wants to download your lighting schedule. Guys running Saxby on 10 gallon cubes and pirates on frag tanks. What are your thoughts, do you customize your own or run a downloaded schedule? I run the brs ab+ at around 75% on 3 ai primes over a waterbox 65.4 aio mixed reef.

I just installed a pair of Kessil a360x's over my 55g. I am currently running the preset "acclimation" program. I am on day 8 of 14. Today's setting is 60% intensity with 90/10 blue/white.

I do have a custom program I made for them when I first installed them last week which is a 90/10 setting at 100% but I am thinking I may dial that back a little as I am liking what I see with them yesterday and today.

Sounds like you are putting in the time to dial your lighting in for your setup, should make for a great reef!

I manually turn my LED and T5's on, the only thing automatic is lights off. So yeah, my light schedule some would say went crazy. But it's working really well for me.

Stability is key not a program and T5s will always get the job done!!!

I’ve customized my own from a BRS schedule.

Run halides from 11 to 5:30 seems to work.
