Took some time this weekend to get serious about my lighting schedule before I start purchasing corals. Ran a couple of the schedules you can download from AI Signature webpage, and settled on the Saxby one. I like the overall aesthetics and the fact the lighting varies at different times of the day.
One thing I am very aware of is how different his tank is from mine. Mine is a 14 Gallon Innovative Marine Peninsula tank with 1 AI Prime 16HD. That being said, I scaled back all of Saxby's setting back by 40%. I made this judgment call from, watching a BRS regarding lighting intensity among various tanks using my light.
My plans are to start out with soft corals, then add some LPS. Does this schedule seem reasonable for that goal? I was thinking of renting a PAR meter from BRS...
Appreciate any thoughts.

Edit, I should also note the light is 8-9 inches above the tank.
