If you are running AI's what are your settings like, and what percentages are you running?

Every tank is different. Start with 40% and increase 5% a week.

Right now I have whites set to 60%, blues all set to 80% and red and green at 20%. I am using the coral acclimation mode on the new controller and have it set for a 50% reduction for 8 weeks.
 
DO you have the Vega's? If so, how do you like them? I am pretty sure that I will be using them for my big tank down the road.. unless there is a new "next best thing" before I get the tank up. I'm really impressed with the AI lights and the controller. I am really interested in the new "director" they have.. seems really cool.
 
I read somewhere that the controller must always talk to the lights or else the programming is gone from the lights. Is this true?

I do have them, but they have only been on my tank for 4 days now. So far so good. I love the ability to tune in the lights to my liking, and the reds (not too sure about the greens) really make a difference. I had the tank purple at one point while I was playing with the levels. :)

Yeah, director does seem like it will be awesome, but it hasn't been released yet. To the best of my knowledge no release date has been set.

The controller sends intermittent signals based on the program. Anytime there is a lighting change the controller sends a signal to the lights. If the controller is turned off, the lights stay at their current setting.
