AI prime hd lights.

I am befuddled with a lot of the configurations I see. I have just bought an established biocube reef tank with corals etc. I have not owned a saltwater tank for over 20 years so the new lighting is new to me. Most configs are dark maybe 12 am to 3 pm. And then most I see stay with really low lighting the rest of the time. Like 40%. I tried that, but it was just plain too dark, and maybe half the corals were shrunk. So tonight I went for 100% power for about 6 hours and all my coral came out in full. SO.... is the 6 hour full light blast really bad? I had the blues turned on the highest and red and green lowest, but again, I set it like that just cause. I would like, low blue moonlight for 12am-3pm, and high lights from 7pm-12pm.

I'm not a fan of the AI programming. I don't think six hours of full light will be bad.

Cannot give feedback on the intensity without knowing the tank size..... How big and how deep is the tank? Looking at your previous posts, seem you have a 15-20 gallon tank?

I have AI Prime on a 15 gallon softie tank (mostly mushrooms and zoa's) set at 75% for 10 hours intensity, with a one hour ramp up and down.
