I have a Photon 32 over a 75 mixed reef. 90 deg optics
Sps are birds nest and acros. Lps are blastos,trumpet, chalices on bottom.

What do you run your lights at % blue and white... just wanting to see what mine are compared to everyone else.
 
I'm running two IT2040's (same as the reefbreeders) and I started out with 35% blues and 20% whites and colors. I ramped the leds up 5% per week till I am now at 80% blues and 40% whites at the peak of the lighting schedule. I do have a custom spectrum so it was a bit heavy on the warm whites. Here is what it looks like at those settings:

Lights were a bit too low so spread was not good, they have since been raised higher for better spread and no shadowing can been seen anymore.

LPS, LED Hydras run @ 100%. Probably don't need to, but everything is doing fine.
 
I run my Orphecks at 100% for 8 hours a day and blues 1 hour before and 1 hour after.
 
I have the OceanRevive OR-IT2080 which is the same as the Photon32. I do an 8 hour sunrise, 1 hour at midday at 80% blue and 40% white and then an 8 hour sunset. I raise and lower the power by 10% each hour and the whites start 3 hours after the blue and end 3 hours before the blue.

 
I'm running a Photon 32 over my 120 and my schedule and power is very close to Ron's, starting at 8:30 in the morning and not totally shutting off until 11:00 in the evening.
