Im waiting for mine(checking tracking every 6 min.
)
I set my ratios by eye, or more blue for deeper water corals. I set the overall intensity with a lux meter. Esp in acclimation.
Im going to start mine at 18,000 lux and go up from there for approx 25 30 days till Im at 40,000.
currently I have MH+led @38,000lux.

I started mine off with 35 blue and 25 white. I slowly moved it up week by week and I'm currently doing 75 blues and 65 whites. I'm not going to go any higher than what I have now. I run it for 10 hours a day from 11am to 9pm.

I can't seem to get these to cut off at night. I have the automatic setup so that I can choose the time for them to ramp up and down. and for some reason they stay on all night at 1% for both blue and white. Any suggestions?

There's 3 settings
1st one is where you set your own program.
2nd is a already programmed time by Maxspect
3rd is just a straight setting
It sounds like you are on the 2nd setting that is already programmed in. Push in the knob until you're own the A Setting. If you there already, push the knob instead of holding it. You should see time and program. Go to program and set the first set point to 0/0 .Go to the last set point and set it at 0/0.
