Best light cycle for the day.

Recently getting back in the hobby and I bought a nicrew hyper reef gen 2 100W. It’s a biocube 32 so I don’t plan on getting too much for the tank. I also bought the remote so I can make a 24 hour lighting schedule. If anyone has this light specifically for their biocube would you be able to send me what has worked well for your corals, possibly an anemone? Thanks

I have a nicrew 100 watt on my 32 gallon. I don't have the controller, so I just keep the blues at 75% and the whites at 50%. It works for me.

Awesome, thank you!

Awesome, thank you!

Do you keep your violet, red, and green all at zero and just run your blue/white?

I don't have the controller, so I can only push the blue and white buttons, I can't control the other colors.

But generally the blues include the purple, violoet, and ultraviolet, so you adjust those same or very similar levels as the blue. Keep the red and green lower than 15%, and the whites you can adjust as you prefer, I like a whiter light so mine is at 50%, but some folks turn the whites off completely because they really like that blue look.
