I run Sol Super blues on a 6 foot 24 inch deep tank. All SPS, the only LPS I have are on the bare bottom.

I have been running them almost 1 year. Started with 3 units and no higher than 35%. Ramped them up very slow. Increasing by 5% once every 3 weeks or so until I reached a peak of 80% for an hour then gradually increased the peak time to 4 hours at peak.

All transitions are 15 min ramps. Lights are 12" above.

Recently added a fourth module.

If it would help I can post my schedule later when I get home from work.

I have them programmed more towards "whiter" (which is better for growth but less to my liking visually) during the day when I am not home and "more blue" (which I like the look better) during the evening when I am at home. Best of both worlds.

if we add tags it will show up on google when people search for ai sol timings or something similar
we should make this an official ai sol timing thread so that new adopters would get an idea on how to start
