OttoReese Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Scott has been more than helpful since I bought my two pendants. They have been running for a little more than 6 weeks. However, I still feel like the Programming that he suggested is still way too blue for my taste. He suggested having ch. 2 on 100. I know most of you would suggest just scaling back the blues but do I need to increase other percentages to compensate? Does anyone have suggestions based on what my current Programming is on what to change? I don't know enough about what each channel does to make changes myself comfortably and still get good coal health and growth. I have a 90 reef with two pendants. Here's my current program: Channel 1 1100 1% 1300 50% 1900 50% 2000 0% Channel 2 700 1% 1300 100% 2100 100% 2300 0% Channel 3 1000 1% 1300 65% 2100 65% 2200 0% Channel 4 1100 1% 1300 30% 1900 30% 2000 0% I like the times for when I am home to view. I just would like to see more daylight while still seeing some fluorescence. If it's easier to just explain over the phone rather than typing suggestions, send me a PM and I will give you my cell or you can give me your number. Thanks in advance!

Dustin1300 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 What's the colors on the channels? Believe they are not in same sequence as mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Msr224 Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Kris, Just turn down channel 2 to a percentage that you like. Then you can increase channel 1 to a slightly higher percentage. You really just need to watch your corals. They will tell you if they are happy. Example: Set channel 1 to peak at 60-65% Set channel 2 to peak at 80% Then watch corals. If they don't extend polyps or appear stressed you can shorten the cycle or decrease the channel 1 %. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
