here's what I have it set at. I started maxing at around 18% and have been increasing 1% about once a week. I've only had it a little over a month. I've got mostly lps and softies and one ORA bird of paradise. I put it in about two weeks ago and already see signs of growth on the tips.

Thank for the input...I've had mine running almost 6 months now. I don't have the lighting schedule handy but I'm running one of the presets and I've got it up to 35%. Coral growth is happening but seems slower than when I ran halides. That said....I've been growing coraline like it's going out of style. I love that it adds virtually no heat to the tank.

I have one over a 28 gallon nano, its 18 inches deep instead of 24, but I run it with the 120 lens at 70% haven't burned anything and things are growing like weeds. Also, I took a par meter to the two lenses... I have the light mounted on the RMS which puts it 9" above the water. I have a mixed reef, Trych brain, sps, acros, the works.

This one may be easier to read... Since this tank shot, I have added Strawberry Shortcake and Red Planet to the "B" shelf.

This a buddies tank . Pic was taken in August . Tank will be 1 year old in NOV . All SPS were frags . Shading is prominent even almost directly under the puck . Frags on the racks still seem to grow at a decent rate but somewhat slower than t5's . Tank has only been supplemented with food for fish . Water changes n kalkwasser only . Has Aquamaxx HOB skimmer n CPR fuge with block sized Chaeto fills the fuge and removed every so often .
As u can see it grows coraline algae at a progressive rate . Over all color is pretty good .
I was impressed since I am not a led fan .

Has anyone just tried these on a Reefer 450?. I got a pair, but can put a third if needed. I called the rep, he said should work, but looking to see if anyone has first hand experience....thanks.

Im getting great results with mine. I have mine on a rms rail and I have it running at 65%. The cube is 24x24x24. I have picked the high growth preset with 6 hours of full spectrum and 4 hours of blues,uv,and a hint of red. Im definitely happy with this light :)

I have a 24"X24"X18"H and I use a radion XR30 Pro. Seems to be working out pretty well.
