Lighting Schedule

Hi folks,
I have 2 Reef Radiance Starfire light fixtures.
I'm uncertain what schedule I should set up
for the 3 channels.
What intensities and for how long for each
color range. Anyone with a schedule you
could share?
Jim

The Summer schedule for my Kessils starts out at zero intensity, zero color (all blue) at 6am, ramps to full intensity / full color at 11am, steady until 3pm, then ramps back down to 0/0 at 9pm. My Winter schedule is shifted an hour earlier (meaning no change for daylight savings). The all-blue is quite spectacular in the early morning and late evening, but I prefer to see real colors during the middle of the day.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Stuart. I have 2 Reef Radiance Starfire fixtures
and just using 1 of 4 built in Templates. I can program
anything I want. Right now the midnight blue runs all
night but think I will program everything off after about
10PM.
Jim
