I’ve got a prime 16hd on my 20 gal cube and was wondering how people get the white lighting with the uv color pops. With all my tuning as soon as i turn the whites on all color washes out but i’ve seen in person more white lights without taking away from colors. I’m fine with some blues but i like the white led look more without sacrificing colors. Anyone have a schedule or walk me through it?

This is my primes schedule on a 20g mixed reef. 10% cool white allows to see the color of the fish and good color on less fluorescent corals. But def has the blue fluorescence pop.

This is my old 20g nano that I ran 2 16hds on.
First 4 100%
The rest 50%
1hr ramp up/down and 10hrs peak. This will grow anything and grew acros on the bottom of the 18" cube.
I run this setting on my 45 and my 30g Nem tank
Good color also.

Knowing this light well, try this:

White 30
cool blue 65
royal blue 40
UV 55
green 4
Red 5
Violet 50
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
