SPS based Radion Programs

Yes most of it is people sharing. I was using my own creation for the last year and half with great results. I am now trying the AB+ from the ecotech paper just to see. So far not so good, but I'm going to stick with it for a few months before I jump ship! Ecotech also has a FaceBook group that has lots of programs you can try. They are not "Ecotech" but rather programs other users have uploaded for you to try.

I haven't had much luck with the pre-sets either.

Define Presets? My original program consisted of a variety of "presets" (Deep blue, 12K, 14K, 20K, ALL BLUE, etc) and was working great. What I'm using now is the actual AB+ program.

@rovster did you end up sticking with the sps AB+ or going back to your old config? Are you supplementing with T5s at all?

Shortly after switching to the program my tank took a dive for the worse. Looking back, I should have paid attention to the alk a little closer. I think when I changed my lighting program the corals stalled out and I spiked my alk which sent my tank into a tailspin. I switched back to my original program and things started to improve. After a month or so I figured what the heck I switched back to the AB+ but at that point most of the damage was done. I've been running it for a couple of months and things look OK now. I'm not seeing anything amazing, in fact I think its a little too blue, but my T5 combo is on the whiter side so its all good. My tank has been in and out of a funk for a while now but its been slowly getting better. I have a few corals that woke up in the last few weeks.

Sorry to hear all of that! Thanks for the reply too I've been debating on making some tweaks to my program for my G3. I run my spectrum a lot whiter too (probably whiter than you) I have the Cool White channel on at 100% along with Blue and Royal Blue at 100%. I have my UV at 50% and Red and Green at 10%. I've thought about ramping down the Cool White some and I could up the UV. Not sure if it would benefit to raise the Red and Green though.
