victoly Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I'm curious what dimming ratios the fine folks of arc are running on their LEDs. I have a 2 channel system (24x3w) with blue LEDs and cool white LEDs. I'm currently running my blues at 60% and my whites at 30%. However, everything is looking good in the tank and therefore I'm messing around with things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer11 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) I'm running a 24x3w also, here's what I'm running. Dimming is controlled by the digital aquatics ALC module + RKL Channel A 8x RB 4x UV @ 65% Channel B 6x 10K White 2x Red 2x Cyan 2x Purple @ 45% Channel A starts dimming at 8:30 AM with a 90 minute ramp time from 0-65% It then begins ramp down at 8:00 pm with a 90 minute ramp down being fully off at 9:30 for a total time of 13 hours Channel B starts dimming at 10:00 AM with a 90 minute ramp time from 0-45% and begins ramp down at 6:30 pm with a 90 minute ramp down being fully off at 8 for a time of 10 hours. I have full power of lighting from 11:30-6:30 for a 7 hour "high sun" I also have 2x DA moonlight modules running on a 90 minute ramp time starting at 9 and being high moon at 10:30 and a moon down starting at 7:30 and ending at 9:00 Edited January 9, 2013 by nanoreefer11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
