Led timer help

mystikal · 05/30/2015, 10:26 PM

Hi guys, so I'm thinking of upgrading from my marine orbit led to a Full spectrum 165w led with the dimmer.

I ended up getting the full spectrum with the dimmer, however I don't like the idea of constantly manually turning it on and off, as well as adjusting.

I really like the ramp timer pro that' comes with the current marine orbit set up...so I'm thinking about getting something along the lines of that "ramp pro timer" to hook up to the spectrum unit...however I don't think its possible because of the significant increase in wattage.

Can Anyone help with adding a ramp pro timer or something similar?
I really don't want to be cheesy and add the regular timers on my tank set up, I would rather have the remote ability to control the unit with a remote.

Thanks

You can wire that light to an Apex VDM module if you have one. If not you're going to have to get a different light. Reefbreeders (a sponsor here) sells their Photon series. Same light but with a programmable controller.

The Current light is not going to be able to grow much. Deceptive advertising IMO.
