    So my 27inch 160watt Maxpect Razor came in today. I hung it from the ceiling about 10 inches from the water in my 92 gallon corner. It looks awesome. I will use the automatic sunrise sunset option it has starting tomorrow morning but tonight im just messing with the 2 channel percentages.

    Anyone know what the best ratio of ch1 to ch2 is on these things?

    I gotta cut the excess wire off too.

    Does anyone know where I can get a lot of info on this light? Programming wise? Is it too much if i put the 2 channels on 100% during the day for my 92 gallon tank?

    You can look at the manual for programming it. Here is a link on premiumaquatics web page that I found.
    http://premiumaquatics.com/prodimages/manuals/razor-manual.pdf

    I would acclimate your corals to the light by slowly, over a period of a month or two, ramp up the intensity.
    i.e.: Set the max intensity to 60% or so and every day increase it by 1% or so.

    Hope this helps.

    Ok thanks. Yeah I read the manual and I know how to program everything I was just wondering about optimizing the percentages for my tank. Yeah this morning I left them on like 50%

    Tank looks great with that light over it.I think 50% might be a good place to start,see how your corals react,even 50% could be too much for them,LED lights are pretty intense and hard to judge at first.As for ratio of the two channels it's pretty much up to your own color preference,just dial in as much of the blue as you like but keep in mind that the light that your corals are recieving is no less intense just because it's bluer.
