Does anyone have the 60 watt one? Trying to figure out what a good setting for A,B,C. under the settings i would be under the mixed category for different kinds of montipora, Zoa's.
I would also like to know this.I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 60w set to setting 4 but tweaked it way down to 2%/1%/1% for daytime. They are extremely bright and without a par meter I’m afraid to fry my tank. No reefs yet. But I have 6 fish and they all seem to love it. Also have a sand sifting sea star and I can’t tell how she feels about it yet.
Not sure what I would have to set it to in order to keep any reefs or anemone. Some help would be nice.

Did you ever find settings for this? I have a 20 g running 1 but I’m contemplating getting a second. I do have Acropora though.

Ive just got 2 SMATFARM G3's over my 40 breeder, and wonder if anyone has any recommended settings for these. I have lps and soft coral, but the default settings on the light look way too bright for me, i dont want to fry anything.

I dont mind the spectrum, im just not sure what % settings to use. The defaults are really bright. I cant seem to find a good answer on %, ive tried reddit also, im sure someone else has these over a 40 breeder.
