Help k7 pro profile

[Sid996]

Hi

New to the hobby , I've got a 100 litre set up with few baby clowns and a zoa and I'm really struggling setting my light up , I've tried a few profiles from this forum and they are all overly blue.

I'm more after a 24 hour day/night cycle that has more a natural look not overly blue etc.

Can anyone please help me out with a QR code or some advice as all the colour channels etc confusing me

Light is a k7 pro iii

Thank you

I'm in the same boat as you. I have a Water box marine x 60.2 and the presets seem very bright. I only have a Duncan, which is shrinking, and a sun coral. I've lost a small frag of goniopora and a small frag of clove polyps. My 3 zoa's are growing a little. My Duncan is 6 inches from the water line and 15 inches from the light. Since the Duncan doesn't require a lot of light I'm running the blue at 40% and everything else at 8%. I don't know whether to go up or down with the light. I don't have a way to get a par meter. I'm an hour from a lfs. I've searched the forums, but most of the tanks are bigger and a lot have sps. I don't think I need the lighting requirements for those settings. They seem much too bright, but this is all new to me so idk. The tank is 10 months old.

First of all, good choice on the light. I love the K7 Pro. I have mine on a 24 gallon AIO with the settings shown in the attached image. Monti cap and Acros on top, stylo-digi-pocilopora-toad-torch in the middle, zoas-mushrooms-blasto-candycane on the bottom. Here are my thoughts based on my experience (and results) with that light. My corals are absolutely rocking with these settings! Please take this for whatever it's worth to you. I can only speak on my personal experience based on a great deal of research (primarily in this forum) and testing.

Way too much white light! I'm sure it looks better to you, but your corals don't care what you think. The blue, UV, and cyan are the colors that provide the light spectrum your corals want. Give it a chance and I think you'll find the heavy blue light (at higher intensity) makes the corals really pop. At max light, blue-UV-cyan 42, white 8, green 5, red 0. I would suggest doing some research on the AB+ light spectrum for reefs.

I'd be happy to provide more details on my setup (pictures, tank dimensions, par values, etc.) if you are interested.

You have a QR code for this setting? Want to try it on my 40 breeder
