I have a 45gal JBJ and have 2 AI Primes over it. Lights have been on for 4 months.

Mixed reef tank with fishes. Zoa's. LPS. Softies. Mushrooms. BTA.

My settings are
9am to 7pm
UV 30
V 30
Deep Red 10
Green 10
Blue 100
Royal 100
CW 30

2 hour ramp

I would like recommend recommendations on best settings for growth?

Would like blues from 9-10am then 5-7pm all blues

Thank you

Mary

This study kills the idea that 10K lighting is best for growth: http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2008/12/aafeature1

This was based on acropora, but that's a lot of what we keep for SPS.

If you use the web app, you can see what settings you need for a particular Kelvin. Try to find an LFS that has a PAR meter it loans out. It's really hard to judge how bright the lighting is without a meter.
