Corona RapidLed Lighting Schedules

I've been using the Corona RapidLed for 8 months or so and really like them, however I would like to revisit my initial color profile that I built. Is anyone else using this lighting and able to share their color profile? I'd love to see what everyone else is using.

Practically all channels to 100% except white to 95%

Thanks for sharing!

Wow and you're running it for 12 hours a day? That seems like a lot of output. Seeing good results?

Are they that low output that you run them that high or do you have them mounted really high off your tank? Any PAR numbers at those levels? Seems like they should put out a fair amount of light, maybe not.

Have them far from the surface to have better blending and access:



5" below surface I have 400 PAR, 100 at the bottom 25" below
