coralux storm x controller settings

[Theoryofwi]

hello,
so im kind of new to this whole thing and cant find much online on settings as far as the blues, whites, reds, etc....I have 2 aurora pucks with the moonlight actinic kit connected to it. at first the lights were too intense, and burned up some expensive corals, now I feel like they are too dim. I have a 54 gallon bow front tank. Would anyone be able to post what they have all their lights at? just so I can get a better idea and get a better starting spot. I know there is a tool you can buy to measure the light but I don't feel like I need to go that crazy. Any other tips, tricks, things to look for would be greatly appreciated!!

I would start them at a low number 10-20% and slowly ramp up over time until your coral starts to react negatively. then turn them down a little and your set. I don't have a storm, but I set my blues at 25% and white/colors at 10% to start and slowly ramp up over several weeks to where they are now, blue @ 75% and white/color @ 35%. Find a mix of colors that you like.

2 Aurora Pucks Too Intense...Over a 54 Bow???

Generally without optics these pucks are the rough equivalent to a 175 watt MH. With optics maybe a 250 watt MH...

Acclimation is key.

The best SPS tanks I've seen have over 200 PAR on the sand bed...
