Good morning all! Here's my crack at a decent light cycle for my 8 gallon cube. I know what you're thinking... A Radion over a 8g cube? OVERKILL! Well, yes it is, but the way I see it, I'll already have a kick *** light for when I upgrade!
Tank Size/Dimensions: 13 x 13 x14
Start Day/Start Night: 8:00am to 7:00pm
What are you keeping: zoas/poly's, softies, and mushrooms.
Other useful information: umm... these lights are awesome?!
So when I first got these lights, I didn't play with them enough, and when I programmed them, it was basically 12k throught the day, at varying intensities. NOW I know that that was a BAD choice (the overwhelming amount of hair algae could attest for that, I'm sure). Last night I spent quite some time researching and playing with the Radion, and came upon this thread which really helped me out (thanks guys!). It took me quite a while get the sunrise/sunset effect right, and I'm still not quite happy with it, but I'm sure after more playing around I can get it just right (or at least to the way I want it). Here's a screen shot of my graph, and I've attached the schedule for all you Radion-over-the-nano people (I'm sure there's AT LEAST one more person who is overkilling it!).
