SB Reef Lights day 1.

[Jnickles85]

Day one using the SB Reef Lights 16 inch WiFi model. Great experience so far. Easy to put together. Only thing I have had trouble with is manual mode in the App. I was able to turn my blue lights down through the app but my white lights wouldn't budge. I have it running in smart mode now with the added timers. Hopefully they will go down that way. If they do not I have already been told by SB Reef to send them a message and they will get it fixed. Sounds like perfect customer service to me!

Yeah Mike is a stand up guy. I have 2 SB running over my tank and am very pleased.

Great! I can't wait to see this thing a week in service.

Oh yeah it happens.. sometimes ))))

Tank looks great. Coverage is excellent.

On a side note we are working on the white channel issue. Should have it resolved shortly.

Day 2 and all is well. Took the advice last night opened the light up this morning and found the connection that was disconnected. Great response time from the SB Reef facebook page.

Sometimes the cable management is too tight and a connector will come lose in shipping. Rare, but an easy fix. Glad you're back in business.

So am I. Headed to the local fish store in a couple mins. Need to get a few small pieces of LR to seed my base rock.

I got my 32" pro timer yesterday and I'm very happy with it so far. I need to figure out a schedule for whites and blues, I was thinking 8 hrs white and 10 hrs blue? Any schedules and percentages of lights? I picked up a hammer and a zoa yesterday that were under AI LEDs so I turned my almost all of the way down.

I'm def. Jealous of your tank size. Looks awesome.

The time schedule I used is the one SB Reefs has on their video that shows how to use the wifi settings. It breaks down every hour and has the light percents listed.

The next thing I need to look into is height recommendations. I have mine at max height right now. Not sure where to place my corals anymore lol

 

[Jnickles85]

Right now I have my Acan piece almost to the bottom. Not sure if I need to move him back up top or not.

I am wanting to get the 32" Wifi for my 75 gallon. I can't wait to order it. I share some pictures once I have it, Your tank and lights look great!

Thanks. Look forward to seeing it!

Quick update on the tank with some photos! It's been about a month.

 

[Jnickles85]

Now that I look at the first picture my tank seems super bare and empty :/. Any ideas? More LR maybe?

 

[Michaelrunner]

I think more LR would be nice. Maybe on the left hand side something taller.

Yeah I think your right.

Good start. I agree a little more live rock.
