nice! is that with all blues? any chance you have a pic with all of them at peak intensity? just curious what those leds look like full blast

I believe the second pic was channel 1 at about 15%. I'm still trying different settings for effect. Being in the acclimation process, I haven't had these over 35%. I really like the ability to program each channel in 30 minute intervals. The moon lights are awesome too.

These pics were taken with my ipad. I'll take some with my canon when I get some time.

Fixture looks great over the tank. I didn't go with the programmable one because I wasn't sure how much I would use those features, so keep me updated on how much you use it. Or is it more of a set and forget program that will do the neat stuff automatically?

Love to see a daylight shot when you get to that point!

Give it at least 3-4 weeks of ramp to full strength.

Thanks Chris! Yes, it's a set and forget if you're happy with what you've programmed. I have a sample spreadsheet from another reefer that I'm ramping up to. It will take a few weeks to get there and not burn anything. Nice features on this one including IR remote, Sunny, Cloudy and Custom modes and after programming you can initiate a preview cycle which will take you through the 24 hours you programmed in about 2 minutes, showing output percentages for both channels corresponding to time. It's also supposed to store programming for power outages although I haven't tested that yet. Having fun with it so far and the corals look happy. Also, everything I got from you a couple weeks back are doing great.

My chiller has been sitting idle since I removed the Metal Halides....So quiet in there now!

Looks great. I have a Photon 24 over my 60g Cube and love it.
