Good evening,
No drama, no stress, trying to keep things simple.
Background:
Barebottom Aquarium=> Waterbox 25 Peninsula with the 18 inch flex arm for the AI Prime 16HD.
Livestock=> No coral yet.

Question: My end game coral is a Koji Wada Pink Nepthea (skipping on all LPS and SPS) and after doing research, their lighting requirements are somewhere along the lines of 50-150 par, is there anyone with Prime 16 settings that are on the lower end of the spectrum (I don’t want to put a lot of strain on the light)?????
 
At about 75% max according to the spectrum you run, you should get about 150 par +/- four inches below the light if it is 9 inches above the waters surface.
Wait, so let’s say I decide to go with this BRS setup; would I decrease everything over %75 to %75 and leave anything under that percentage the same? Or would I have to do the math and set it up according to the ratios?

You set the spectrum components then from the main screen you use two fingers and drag your peak lighting time " high noon" down. Your settings stay the same but your intensity is lower. Cut back that red from the brs settings imho
