I've asked this a bunch of different places and people and ofcourse get a ton of different answers I've got a 40 Breeder Corals Nem,Torch,Hammer,Blastos, Duncans,Candy Canes I currently have 2 Nicrew 100s attached with the provided Arms I a. Trying to figure out my White and Blue Settings the latest suggestion was 2 100s on a 50 Low Boy 100Blue 5-10 White I Don't have access to a par meter so I'm really just trying to find someone with a tank around my size to match with

100 blue on a nicrew 100 packs a huge par.
Those corals (and likely many others) average about 150 par and at 100% your pushing 350, maybe 400.

I use 1 nicrew 150 on a low boy (only lighting half the tank) it’s 12” inches above the water….blue is on second lowest setting of the 6 settings and white on the lowest.

It’s hard to kill with lower light and super easy with high light.

You can always move it up one level in a few months.

Maybe that will help you
