Who uses reef breeders led

waiting on my IT2040 to come in for my 45g cube, its going to be a mixed reef maybe only a couple pieces of SPS. I think that it should be enough litght
 
What % is everyone else keeping their Reefbreeders fixtures at? I have the Photon32 over a 65gal, it's currently at 65%/65% at the peak during the day.
 
I'm running like 40% blue 30 white at its peak, but it's been over s month now I'm going to turn it up soon
 
What optics are you using 120?

I'm using the 120 and 90s optics.


Growing Sps, lps, zoas, softies, some silly way to expensive chalice frags and whatnot.

Fts show the height and placement in tank.

Looks nice man! And how far up are they mounted off the surface?
 
I'm running 60° optics because I have a deeper tank, looks like my height is about the same as yours. My fear was that 100% might be too much.
 
Just received mine from recent group buy (Photon 24 w/90's). Will post pics and more thoughts about it as I just installed yesterday. My tank received about 6 hrs of light yesterday with new panel and I was able to tell my corals were thrilled. My previous lighting over a 57 gallon illuminata involved a 36 in ATI (4 bulbs) and about 24 led's from rapid led I had added to help out a bit. Definitely hope to see more growth and coraline algae to scrape off my glass (I know I will regret the latter statement soon).
 
I have the 24 Photon over my 38 Nuvo and love it! Had it up about 6 weeks now.
I have a custom dusk to dawn with a peak of 40% blue 20% white.
Getting great growth already.

Looks good. Do you mind if we put your tank on the site?

Just curious, has anyone had any issues with the LCD screen not showing any display? The touch buttons work fine and the lights work, I just can't program it.

Did you buy it from us? We can send over a new controller, or repair it for you.

I have 2 Photon 24's over my 200g DD with a canopy. I had one over my 120g for 6 months and had great results once I figured out how powerful they are. I have 120* optics on a 27" deep tank and get great results. My 200g is SPS dominated and some acros I don't move higher than the sand bed. I think a lot of people overdo it with optics, IMHO. Here's a pic when I first put them up and one a few months later.
