I have 3 Sol's over a 4 ft. 75 gal. They are about 12 inches above the water.

Timer 1: 6 am - 11 am they ramp up to 60%
Timer 2: 11 am - 4 Pm they stay at 60% (if I want more light I turn this timer up)
Timer 3: 4 pm - 9 pm they ramp down to 8%
Timer 4: 9 pm - 10 pm they stay at 8% but ramp to moonlight setting
Timer 5: 10 pm - 6 am they stay at 8% with moonlight setting

My tank is mostly softies.
