Correction ; I upgrade to 2 of the Hiperago 100 watt lights . My tank is 30” wide and 15 “ deep and 21” tall . I know each light is sufficient for a 15” x 15 “ square of light .

Hiperago 100w ( $160 apiece and competitive with AI prime I wld guess. I had 2 of their Aquaknight black box lights 30w before and was able to keep my Bali green slimer acrapora alive and with these he has encrusted all down rock and new digits. I’m VERY happy w lights just wish I knew what percentage for each spectrum and nm.

Not familiar with this light but try these settings

Blue 75%
white 25

If you have these:
UV 80
purple 80
green 4
red 4
Amber 15-20

The way my light is set up is that it has 5 channels that you can set together to make your sunlight and moonlight option with ramp up or down in between these.

Forget the light question I will ask in that forum if anyone has my lights after I search, I woke up this morning to it growing on sand now. Here are the pics. I wiped off blowers w heavy duty towel and going to take out and spray off and then pull some of my turf grass off rocks because this new algae is sticking to it recently
