Hi! I would start with bringing the light to the maximum height, about 10 inches on the hard mounts. Red and green 10% white is completely up to your taste of how much blue you like, most people run 10-30%. Start all your blues at 60% and slowly bring them up every week or so. Most run 80-100% for lps but a 5foot tank may need more.

Welcome to the forum! I think @WWC has hydra settings on their site? I tried to look real quick on my phone but couldn't find it. Maybe they can chime in.
