I just installed a photon v2+ (24" on a 32" tank) and have made my own custom program, its mainly for coral growth as I read that another user @Velcro (https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/reefbreeders-photon-v2-review.309546/) (thanks a lot for this, it provided the backbone for my schedule) had great growth with something similar. I can easily change any value in here if anyone has any suggestions, this lighting is intended for coral growth as well as appearance and I am open to suggestions to improve either aspect.

I spent a long time designing this, others are free to use it too, if it is useful and works well.
 
Thanks for sharing your program. What color temp would you say this results in?
 
I'm not really sure how to describe it, I try to focus more on blues with a bit of red/green peaking through to mimic the rising and setting sun. The zoanthids are looking amazing under the light. I do think the nightime is definitely too bright, I want to cut it down by about 80%, maybe through the use of just 1-2% violet and nothing else.
