Turn the channels up to full. Slowly pull each channel down one by one and find the color that looks best.
Rember the ratio that you get.

Then , set that same ratio to the correct intensity for your tank and live stock.

Ok then.
Set the intensity for the tank.
You may need to use a lux or par meter , or , take a guess based on the specs on the orbit site and slowly increase intensity and watch the coral. Find the sweet spot that way.
