Bought new led light fixture from China.

What's your schedule Rick?
I have been changing mine and maybe I am going the wrong way?
I'm gonna start changing to see if I can dial it in.
I still love the lights just wished coral would grow quicker
 
Here is my current schedule. Next month, I'll increase whites to 90% of Blues.
I keep it on a text doc, so hopefully the format does not come up too screwy.

Here are a couple of corals for comparison. These are not the fastest growers in my tank, just some of my favorites. I also need to take classes in order to take better pictures.

What layout did you go with and how high off the h20 line is your light

My lights are ~16" from top of the water. I have X2 S400 units and only source of lighting in my tank. My tank is 72X36X36 with a plenum.

The corals I posted are about 18" and 19" under the water.

6B, 8RB, 4UV, 6W per module.
CH1 6 B
CH2 6 RB
CH3 6 W
CH4 2 RB + 4 UV
 
Sharkman:

You reef looks great! What is that neon green long tentacle coral on the left? A torch?

Hi, yes it's a torch, I have two together, a standard one and the ultra green one, never seen one quite as bright, got it from a fellow reefer who was closing down for next to nothing!
 
Sharkman, this is a very nice tank, what is your light setting in night time , all off or only blue colors in low intensity ?

Thank you for your comments, glad you like it. My lights fade down from full daylight setting at 3.0pm and finally go off at 10.30 pm as we are usually in bed by 10-10.15 as we are up earlyish!! From about 9 it is mostltly blues and uv to get this effect

Whilst this is a daylight shot

I am testing several brands, Ledzeal among them (My favorite so far). Got them last week, here is my schedule, 2 S200:

Forgot to mention: Best prove that the lights work are Before/after pictures and light schedules. Thanks for sharing guys!
