Photon V2 settings

[Spragro50]

I have followed reef breeders lighting rec’s but so far not impressed with how the tank looks - have only soft corals and tank is 5 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet - anyone want to share their lighting setup?

Not sure what settings you’re running but I know a guy who runs his at 70% on white and red, and 100% on blue, royal blue, violet, and green.

Ron Reefman ran his with no red or green as they are present in white light.
Royal Blue peaked @ 90
White peaked @ 40
Cool Blue peaked @ 90
Violet Peaked @ 50
Since you only have softies if you like the look you could run this program @ say 50% if the tank is not too deep.
A par meter would be a plus to have.
Reefbreeder's have settings for 10 - 12 - 14 & 16K listed on the website.

You need to say why you are not impressed.
Too blue, too white, too yellow, to dull, too weak ect....

U r right - it’s too blue - corals seem washed out

Look up the 10 or 12K programs, they are not blue @ all.

Do you have the URL Vinny? I can't find them.

Yeah, i found that too. Maybe @Vinny Kreyling has a different reference. I'm using the SPS program.

 

[Vinny Kreyling]

I don't see those programs listed anymore.
However I will list them here as they were written:
10K
1 2 3 4 5 6
70 70 65 100 65 65

12K
1 2 3 4 5 6
70 70 80 100 80 80

14K
1 2 3 4 5 6
50 50 100 100 100 100

16K
1 2 3 4 5 6
50 30 100 85 100 100

These are max settings to achieve colorations.
The Numbers will NOT move as I want to the positions above the settings.
