I am thinking about switch back to T-5 from LED's on my Frag Tank. I have the Maxspect Razor 16K 27" and I am just having issues dialing in the right sunrise to sunset modes on this thing.... To me I feel it isn't as Blue or White as the Apollo Fixture I have. So far I feel like my Apollo Fixture has out performed the Maxspect Razor. The growth I am getting with the Apollo is crazy with SPS. My MaxSpect I have the lighting cycle as follows

MaxSpect Razor
6am W 0%, B 5%
8am W 10% B 20%
10am W 30% 50%
12pm W 60% B 100%
7pm W 30% B 50%
8pm W 0% B 1% < the 1% is moonlights for the night time so this stays on unitl 2am in the morning then shuts down via Timer.

This is how I have my Apollo Setup I am not sure if it is the way I have it setup on my Apex but I guess I am just trying to get a handle on this timing but here is how I have this setup

Apollo Artic Red Fixture
6am to 12pm Blues> Ramp time> 240 minute 5% TO 90% Sunrise
12pm to 6pm Blues> Ramp time> 0 minues 100% Midday
6pm to 8pm Blues> Ramp time 120 minutes 100% to 5% Sunset

6am to 12pm Whites> Ramp time> 240 minute 5% TO 90% Sunrise
12pm to 6pm Whites> Ramp time> 0 minues 80% Midday
6pm to 8pm Whites> Ramp time 120 minutes 80% to 5% Sunset


Just not sure if my settings aren't the best on the Maxspect...
 
U should check out the radions. Even a used gen 1. I had issues until I got the right graph for it. I love the colors.

I never had MH but the power bill in my house is crazy now.. $300 a month when it used to be $120... And that's just a couple (lol) tanks.
