These are the BRS recommended spectra for the Prime 16HD. I have the Innovative Marine 15 AIO desktop aquarium. According to the BRS YouTube video, I should be in between 25% (which is what they recommend for a 12” cube for LPS) and 70% (which is what they recommend for an 18” cube for LPS). That would be about 48% of the 100% setting. Is it just me or do these numbers seem really high?

I don't know what any of that means, but I have AI Prime on my 15 gallon softie tank, mainly mushrooms and zoa's and leathers, set at 85%

No worries! Correct, every channel just a little lower, you can lower the full spectrum by dragging two fingers down? (best way I can describe it if you're using it through your phone)

When you say 85%, what is set at 85%? Every channel?
We mainly refer to the blue lights when talking intensity, blue light more than others makes the corals grow. Blue light includes the violet and royal blue, so all 3 at 85%. The uv as I understand is more about coral color pop, but its not very clear to me, I keep it at 70%, My green and red are at 15% each, and whites at 25%. The whites is more for your preference, some folks turn the whites down to zero, some like it at 50% or more.
