Automatic let u program your 6 different timing, u can set whatever u want and how long.

I am running in Automatic mode.

bro Tropics, there are factory presets, which can't be changed and a Automatic preset that can be program.

I chose the program so that I have longer moonlight from 11pm till 12pm. Then I will start dawn, sunrise, daylight, sunset, evening and back to moonlight.

This way at least I can see the tank when I back home.

Bro James, very sad...I just brought a cleaner shrimp and it died few mins after touching water. Don't know what happened? Still a puzzle.

I also brought sand gobbles and hope they will survived.

My ANN is 0,0,40.

Something funny about this light setting. I used the Automatic program, I set it at 2300hrs to Channel A:0 and Channel B:1, it changed itself to Channel A:0 and Channel B:2, then it increase slowly to Channel A:7 and Channel B:16 at 0930hrs. My next setting was at 1200hrs Channel A:10 and Channel B:20.This is good if it slowly brighten up in prepare for next setting changed. Need to monitor further.

I believe the light settings are based on point-point timings and calculate the ramp up/down % based on the 2 different timings.

Example for this case:

For channel B,

From 2300hrs set at 1%

To 1200hrs set at 20% (total minutes - 780mins)

So at 0930hrs, the light has done about 630mins.

So the intensity % should be 630/780 * 20% = 16% at 0930hrs.

So that means, your lights are always on.

Bro Rockyboy, after my observation the light changed the intensity up or down based on next setting. I feel this is good as this won't shock the fishes or corals on sudden change in light intensity. Thumbs up!

Hi Bro, I'm interested in getting one of this as well but am concern on the support leg (rod) after seeing your photo.

First of all, the two bar legs seem not match with the classy design of the light set. Spoiling the overall look on it. Prefer handing but concern on the drilling of my ceiling. Any bro has any recommendation will be great!

Secondly, the rods seem like bending down due to the weight of the light set. Is this true or just the angle of the photo mislead it?

Appreciate your feedback on this.

Thanks!

Just tested the 160w 16k on my 4x2x2.5. The brightness is superb for Lps. However the left/right iside of tank isn't brighten up due to the 3 segment of led placing very close together. Just wondering if I can modify to spread out the LEDs to cover more area.

Initial

bar led fan led fan led bar

Modify to

Led bar fan led fan bar led

For those who has the set will understand what I mean by shifting the left led closer to the left, and right led closer to the right to spread out.
