@jlanger
your tank looks great!
@ jt48
do you have any problems with the light or do you plan a upgrade from the light with adding some modules? If yes, i would make the firmware upgrade, but if the light working without any problems i would do nothing.
in this chase, "never touch a running system".
I recently purchased a 4 foot SR360. It has been a frustrating learning experience, and I was almost ready to send the light back, and get something else.
Do you know what "Synchronize Automatically" means in the "Summary Menu"?
Thanks!
NEED HELP!!!!I am running an sr260 with uv upgrade over a 30x30x24 cube running corner to corner. I just got it and am not sure what hight off the water to run it. I have sps high in the tank and lps low with chalices in the middle i do not have the vlink so i am just running off custom setting. Could someone please tell me the correct hieght and intensity to run the light at.
I would help you if I had experience with these, you are better off reposting this question in a Vertex Illumina thread or in the manufacture forum for Vertex.
This is a vertex illuminia thread!

The illumina does not have optics...so it is designed to run closer to the water. I have my 260 about 8 inches above the water. I think a lot of users run their blue and royal blue up near 100% at peak hours and the whites are anywhere from 40-60% at peak hours. UV user seem to peak out in that same area. Keep in mind that this led has a "gentler" light than many leds because it does not have the optics.
I go with a 12 hour cycle with 2 hours of ramp up and down on both sides. My white and uv both max at 60% and my blues max at 100%
It seems acclimation to the light has been different for folks. What kind of prior light did you run?
For instance, I went from 500 watts of metal halides and 200 watts of t5s. My tank gladly took 100% of these blues immediately.
Hope this helps.

Ive been running a 36" SR260 on my 90 mixed reef for about a year and a half. Yesterday I ordered 3 multicolor modules. Any tips on using these modules at first? I assume I need to start their levels low and bring them up over time? The question is how low?
