Ok need some help setting up my light. I have an AI prime and I’m trying to figure out how long to have the lights on and what colors to include.

For the color:
- i plan on having euphyllia, zoanthids, and macro algae.

I’m looking at the BRS for intensity.

I wanted to know how long I should run it for per day. I was thinking a few hours ramp up and then a few hours ramp down. With 8 hours full blast.

Any help is appreciated.

I can't give any advice, no idea what I am doing. However, I can say I just took one of the pre-set templates from the Mobius app. I used that for color selection and schedule. I rented a par meter and measured at different intensity levels to determine what I might need to use in the future depending on the type of coral I buy. David Saxby is the one I used, even though I am not sure the up and down cycling it uses really needs to be done.
