Omar asked me to give him my settings for my Reefbreeders again. I couldn't figure out how to post a picture from my hard drive to a private message, so I'm posting it here. For anyone who is interested, these are the settings I used for a 48" photon series over a 4' 120 gallon tank. I have a predominantly LPS tank. I tried brighter settings than this, and nearly bleached my lobo into oblivion.

Hope someone finds this useful,

Thanks Chris. So much of this depends on height above the tank, depth of tank and types of coral. I had mine with a max of 75/ 65 for last year and just recently started to raise it a bit every two weeks due to switching to so much more sps. I am actually at 100/100 for 3 hours in the afternoon now and no ill effects. But, I have 26" depth and it's a little over a foot high (plus some glass braces).
Whatever you do just do it slowly. And if something gets unhappy, bump it back down.

Nice part on mine is that some browned out corals are starting to get their color back so I did need to raise it.
