Hello, I am new to the reef and saltwater hobby. I have an Ai Blade Reef light (grow) on a 20 gallon long, and I'm not sure where to start. I have a few frags in the tank now. Zoas, Acan, Favia, and a Chalice. I don't want to bleach my corals so does anyone know a good lighting schedule I could start with?

Based on my experience with AI product (Hydra 32s), the Mobius app offers presets. When you choose a preset, it will ask you what intensity percentage. I started at 40% and increased by 5% weekly after a water change. I stopped at 70-75%.
