Does this mean my lights are approximately running at 25%? I am slowly ramping up to 100%. Using mh as my main light and Radion is being used as a supplement.

it mean you only have 2 bars of service and it will be sufficient enough to make a call if you dont walk around. you also have 5% battery life before the phone tells you that you have low battery. also means its only 9:15am in the morning, you either did not charge your phone last night or you are a heavy phone user.

I'm pretty sure it does, but not 100% since I program through USB. btw if you haven't acclimated your tank to the Radion it's going to burn a hole through your corals at 100% intensity, I can't even go over 60-70% in my mixed display and it took 6 weeks to acclimate everything to that level.

It means you're running at 50% overall. Bring that slider all the way far right and it would say 100%.
I think he means if the 46% at the bottom of the screen is a percentage of the 50% or a percentage of the 100%. imo it's a percentage of the 50% making it about 25% total brightness. I think the best way to find out is to look at the tank and estimate it visually, the difference between 25-50% on the Radion is pretty noticeable.

Yep I think I get what he means but I disagree with you. I believe it's showing 50% of 100% overall brightness... BUT, I could be wrong. It's hard to tell. If he has set the max brightness at 50% and is acclimating his lights for a few week period this screen grab could be showing 25% of 50%.

If you've set your lights at 100% max but also set an accimation period in your settings then I think this is showing you it's currently at 50% of your max 100% setting.

But he is on LTE which mean you can use VOIP and save the minutes providing he have an iphone 6. LOL

At 4:30pm you are at 46% and 3:30pm you are at 28%. Your lights will not go pass 50% according to that screen shot. 10:30pm you will start ramping down to 28%

When you look at it on your desktop it's different than the app version. The numbers and percentages are different. It's so confusing

Oh yeah - I am on acclimation mode for 2 weeks since I got some corals from mike. I'll take another snapshot to compare after acclimation mode next week.

Not sure if acclimation mode affects overall brightness or the number below. And yes - it's diff on desktop vs iPhone app. I wish I can control the color bars from the app
