I will be ordering a Photon 48 in the next few weeks for my 55g. I have a few SPS corals and a Rose Anemone. Should I go with there recommended bulb set up are has anybody found anything better? Who is running this light over a 55g? Got Pics? I am really looking forward to this light abd want any advice or input from anybody especially if you have the Photon 48 over a 55g. What set ups are people using? Running which colors at what percent. Thanks ahead of time for your input! I so ready to get ride of this broken legs, fan squeaking(start up), Bulb changing HOT5 fixture! Although it has done me well just can't get parts anymore.

Start slow and low with lights. Whites at say 20-25% blues around 70%. Give it time a few weeks for corals to acclimate to new light then start bringing power % up no more than 5% per week or two. Have to remember that led is more focused than halide or t5

do you have to adjust each half hour or hour by 5% or can you tell it to raise all by 5%?
