OMG that's right, you're in springfield.... Do I get a welcome to the other side of "hades". Been here 3 years. new mexico is 100 times worse... In different ways. I wont talk about it.
on the lights there seems to be 2 blue indicator lights, 1 for manual programming, the other for connecting.
If you like, I could probably try to help, if it is a real issue... I wouldn't be able too. There are some tricky parts to connecting the controller to the light.

I got all that no problem. Fairly straight foward. The problem i had was the controller kept freezing and not letting me move to program. I found a work around but it did take me a lot longer to program.

A couple of notes. Heather walked down in the middle of programming this morning. Her first response was wow look at the shimmer.
Second response your stressing out the fish with the programming.
I'll get a proper write up this evening. Stay tuned.

Yep but they will get over that quick enough. Now that they are programed changing intensity won't be that big of a deal.
The coral on the other hand is a whole different ball game. I'm going to be borrowing a par meter from a friend this weekend. Thats going to be all kinds of fun.

I believe its an apogee

kittenbritches tested hers with apogee. I was able to mimic her settings and get very close to the same reading from my seneye and her apogee. She hates the fans on the units. A whole nother bag of beans.
I assume the old lights were t5s? I wont go on about the subject. Hope you enjoy the lights and they bring you no issues

Keep going on i don't have issues with it. Part of this build is lightskittenbritches tested hers with apogee. I was able to mimic her settings and get very close to the same reading from my seneye and her apogee. She hates the fans on the units. A whole nother bag of beans.

Fans I don't hear and I'm going from t5 to led on the 125. The 90 still has t5 with a small led for ramp up/down and full blues.

I honestly think KB's fans are broke. Very annoying to listen to when she made a video. The Np controller seems to stump a few people. I could name one I think he hasn't gotten his to work yet. And it pretty much gave up and gives him the "red" light.
Since you were running t5, I assume that is a lot more par than my old orbits. Never again! I hate those leds.

I believe the leds and halides produce "rays" where the t5 is far more diffused due to the tubing.

Well. I wanted to share the par map with you. I believe you seen it. 26" from light - bottom of an 80% out put was 230ish par.
I think you read the par war in kb's noopsyche thread.

If she makes the x bracket to the mounting arm to tight very possible they rubbing. Just a thought.
