Maxspect Razor quetsion

[Redneckreef90]

I have 2 maxspect razor 120W on my 90. My question is how should i have them timed? i want them on and at full power in the evening when I'm home. Also I will be getting the 120 degree reflectors this week for them. If any of you guys could help that would be great. I can post my current settings if the will help y'all

Well depends on what you intend to keep. I have the 160w 16k on a 29 gallon standard set at

TP1 08:00 Ch1 0% Ch2 0%
TP2 10:30 Ch1 20% Ch2 40%
TP3 12:00 Ch1 50% Ch2 70%
TP4 17:00 Ch1 50% Ch2 70%
TP5 19:30 Ch1 20% Ch2 40%
TP6 22:00 Ch1 0% Ch2 0%

I keep sps, lps and zoas. Your max intensity should be between 4-6 hours.

It would be very hard to tell you what to set your lights at without knowing what it is you are supplying the light for. Ie. Lps, sps, little of both? If you don't know for sure what you have or if you are unsure what your lighting needs are, Please error on the side of caution. It is very easy to burn your corals with the Maxspect lights. I have the r420r 320w 16k and I would never go over 50% white without an acclamation period and slow ramp up to end result.

I put 2 of my 120W on a timer. So I have 8 time points. I bought a cheap timer on amazon. It's still working for all most 2 years now. The lights are all most 4 years old now.
The timer will turn the lights on at 8:00 and off at 22:00
Tp1: 9:00 Ch1 0%, Ch2 1%
Tp2: 10:00 Ch1 50%, Ch2 60 %
Tp3: 11:00 Ch1 50%, Ch2 80%
Tp4: 14:00 Ch1 60%, Ch2 90%
Tp5: 20:00 Ch1 60%, Ch2 90%
Tp6: 21:00 Ch1 0%, Ch2 1%
Lights off at 22:00
Mixed reef (sps dominated)
And don't forget to ramp the light up very very slowly. If you have Par meter or you can borrow from someone, it will be great.
