I have had the light for about 2 weeks now. I had an AI 14 and AI 16 before. Quite a bit better than those. Started at a 20% blue and going up 1% a day. I will stop at about 60 and see how things are. Whites are about 25-35% of blues. Playing around seeing what I like. Red/Green are 4% for now. Don't know if I should bump them up or not yet

Here is a normal daytime picture and an all blue with an orange lens.

Let me know how it goes! I’m interested in upgrading to this tank as well. I’d like to do the peninsula version but im wondering which skimmer I could use to go in the filtration chamber and not hang on back so I can keep it flush agains the wall for space.

Yeah, I have a ReefBreders , actually same model on my IM SR60. Really like the light, schedule easily customized with remote. Whole set up sounds nice. Have mine running at 55 blues at peak. Not much white, only 1 at peak.

Following! I just ordered the same tank. I also purchased the same Sicce. On my list is: MP10QC, Same Reefbreeder (keep hearing lots of good things about this light) , and currently looking at the Bullet HOB Skimmer, but may go with what Waterbox recommends (Comline). Glad to see I'm not far off. (I wouldn't go off of my list as I'm still new to this). Please let us know how it goes!

How do you like the Photons? I recently bought a full setup that comes with them. Curious about your experience

I'm entertaining the idea of adding a T5 hybrid with them.

Keep us posted on the Duetto as that’s a cheaper option than the Tunze Osmolater
