Hello everyone.

Here's my setup on my 60 gallon mixed reef and i'm running them on an apex controller:

-36 royal blue xpe premiums
-24 cool whites xpe premiums
-10 highnoon xpg

Just wondering what intensity everyone is using on your setup?

If you're running both blues and whites at 100% or each at different settings?

Are you running blues at 100% when the highnoons are on?

Thanks for the help.

I have mine set based on the below chart which is measurement of LUX on the natural reef.

Everything is controlled by an APEX Controller and my tank time is 4 hours later than local for evening viewing. The below times come close to the chart.

Royal Blues come on at 0600 for a two hour ramp up then at 0800 they are 100%
at 1730 they start dim down to O% at 1930

Cool Whites come on at 0630 for a two hour ramp up then at 0800 they are 100%
at 1700 they start dim down to O% at 1900

High Noon XP-Gs come on at 1000 for a two hour ramp up then at 1200 they are 100%
at 1600 they start dim down to O% at 1800
