New RKL Plus on order - what should I know / advice?

[scottkel]

So I just ordered a RKL Plus and this will be my first controller. I am excited but nervous at the same time - is there anything that I need to know?

I have a 3 MH light setup with 4 T5-54 supplement that I "currently" have on the following lighting schedule:

3:00pm - T5 Actinics on
3:15pm - T5 10K's on
3:30pm - left MH on
3:45pm - center MH on
4:00pm - right MH on
11:00pm - right MH off (7 hours running)
11:15pm - center MH off (7.5 hours running)
11:30pm - left MH off (8 hours running)
11:45pm - T5 10K's off (8.5 hours running)
12:00am - T5 Actinics off (9 hours running)

Meanwhile - I have my moonlights running 24/7 because I dont have them on a timer - ideally they would come on around the 11:45pm mark or so and off around 3:00pm. First question - please tell me I can replicate this setup with the RKL3?

Also, I will have 4 Hydor Evo 1400's running on the wavemaker setting, how do you think this should be setup?

Thanks! And again - any advice would be appreciated.

Scott

to replicate that lighting cycle you will need 5 plugs (6 to time the moonlights) and you will need to place your MH lights on the #1 and #4 outlets. With a system your size and judging from your other post, It sounds like you may need a RKE instead of a RKL. you already have 10 outlets needed if i am reading your post correctly and with 3 PC4's you will loose the ability to use a net module with the RKL
