Just curious as to how long you guys have the high intensity running? I've kept the same schedule as my mh schedule so like 8 hours at high intensity. I'm thinking it may be too high for too long as these bad boys are powerful. Any thoughts?

So here is a pic of my 220g tank
hi may i know your tank size and height of kessil lights?
No, firmware upgrades onlyAre there different generations/versions to the AP700? I am considering buying a used light but I wasn't sure if I was going to miss out on something compared to buying a brand new one (other than decreased LED life). Basically, have they changed anything in the last 2 years? Thanks!

Lighting intensity needs to match the nutrient level in your system. You can not make any assumptions about your system based on others experience, other than the fact these lights grow coral.
Simple starting points.
Corals mostly pale and whiteish?: increase nutrients, lower ALK 7-8 dKH, lower light intensity.
Corals very dark/brown out?: decrease nutrients, increase ALK 9-10 dKH, increase intensity.
That is a very simple break down and you can do all or one to try and fix it, depends on your system, I would start with one. There are a lot of subtleties hidden in that simple breakdown so be sure you research each one and document/track changes. Also improvements can take weeks probably months to show themselves.
I recently reduced my lights from 90% to 75% and started getting better growth about 2-3 weeks later. Even if the coral can handle more intensity doesn't mean it's the ideal amount of light.

I just removed my two Ocean Revive T247 fixtures and replaced them with a Kessil AP700 fixture. The new AP700 is 10" above the water over a mixed reef tank. I do not want to bleach my corals so what intensity would you recommend I start at? The old T247 lights were set at 75% blue, 30% white if that helps. Would 50% intensity be to much?
What are the two black buttons on the power supply for?
