Can you share your color settings, Larry? I want my tank to look just like yours.

larryfl1 · 03/28/2012, 03:01 PM

actually i am running full on all colors... overall brightness is at 75% currently .. i may turn the red/orange down like 5-10 % but undecided...

i am working on the sunrise and sunset..not happy with the settings yet so once i get those ill send them over...

hirez · 03/29/2012, 03:53 PM

foudelet · 04/01/2012, 06:55 AM

foudelet · 04/01/2012, 07:55 AM

couples photos for us Greg?

Greg 45 · 04/01/2012, 07:59 AM

I would like to post pictures but my camera , I cannot find settings to get a good picture its a cheep camera.

Greg 45 · 04/03/2012, 05:09 PM

how many hours is everyone running there lights for
i am at 12 hours is this to much

Rotknee · 04/04/2012, 12:25 AM

I am also at 12 hours...

I would really like to be able to manipulate the the Sunrise and Sunset settings such that my tanks starts with just the blues at 1% and ramps up from there. It would also be nice to customize the Sunset function as well. Using stock settings now where it comes on with all colors at what I would guess is 10% or so? The "Colour" settings tab is useless during the Sunrise and Sunset settings as the "Probe colour" doesn't reveal what the settings are during those time periods.

PacificSun_eu · 04/04/2012, 01:49 AM

Hello,
We are working already on firmware/software update - but it need to completly modify whole program code.
There will be possible to set colour for sunrise/sunset (separatly - for ex. - blueish sunrise - and redish sunset) - and separate times for sunrise/sunset also.

Thank you for the update Przemyslaw. The Metis Hyperion is the most powerful fixture I have ever owned and I believe it is a success story in the making for both you, the manufacturer, and me the consumer. Before long I think this lamp will be associated with some of the most beautiful LED illuminated tanks on this forum.

From an end user perspective it would be nice to have a graphical user interface giving the user the ability to see how their lights ramp up and ramp down during the lighting cycle for each channel. This would allow infinite options and control over how the lighting could be used.

Here is a very basic example of what I am talking about. This simple curve shows a 3 hour start up to max followed by a slow decline to sunset at which there is a 3 hour decrease to a point where the lights go off. Most competing lamps offer a variation of this...some better than others.

What you have developed thus far is incredible and something I would be proud of. The only missing piece of the puzzle is that level of control. I am looking forward using the new software.

larryfl1 · 04/04/2012, 11:01 AM

i agree 100% i love the way the ghl ramps between points...

hirez · 04/04/2012, 12:59 PM

Yeah, that would be a very nice way of showing off the par tables!

SPotter · 04/05/2012, 07:07 PM

garryclarkfl · 04/05/2012, 09:19 PM

PacificSun_eu · 04/06/2012, 01:42 AM

Easter bunny arrived early......

SPotter · 04/06/2012, 08:01 PM

Its out of the box and resting on the tank. I am working on setting up parallels on my mac right now so I can run the software. I won't have a chance to turn this on until tomorrow. Stay tuned!

SPotter · 04/07/2012, 06:47 PM
