Apex question with lights

[bwig333]

Guys I have a stevesled retro kit on my tank. 21 royal blue 3w leds, and 21 neutral white 3w leds. I have a dimmer switch for each set(white and blue). They are currently plugged into my apex controller. When the lights come on they are set at a preset intensity(what I thought looked best) and are on from 8a to 8p. I am trying to grow sps and feel that my lighting sequence may be to long or to intense. So i am trying to figure out a few things. 1) can you program stevesleds retro kit to ramp up/down in intensity? if yes 2) does anyone know/and can share a program to ramp intensity to make a more natural sunrise--midday--sunset with my apex? Thanks

thanks for the reply. I am pretty new to the apex so I guess I would have to run my light to the v outlets, correct? I currently have power supply to the EB8. Sorry for the basic questions.

Your questions might be basic but still over my head. Try posting in the Neptune forum. I will be with a great deal of help will be hooking up my Apex this afternoon.

Moon, thanks for the links. I posted it in the neptune section like you suggested earlier. That got the answers I was looking for. I have to buy a controllable interface first, then set the program. Thanks again for all the ideas.
