Kessil A360X - Am I doing wrong if I have Violet channel at 0 ?

[Subnautica]

I've been playing around with the channels on my 360X's for a while and I found out I like it best at CLR 15, Violet 0, Red 20, Green 0, Intensity 50 (this is during the peak of the day). But I've read that Violet channel should match with Intensity. Is there a reason for it and am I doing wrong ?

I’m not sure about that but I’ve always heard they’ll grow corals at any color, just pick one that looks good to you.

If you don’t like it don’t use it. Lights were effective without violets for a while (still are). But using it just provides more wavelengths the coral is capable of using for metabolic function. Leaving it out is just taking away from the overall spectrum.

I have an A360x in between two XR15s and I think that’s a great combination for my tank

This! If you have the controller or dongle, I would use it, as it will provide a much deeper/broader spectrum that corals utilize. If you decide to use it, just add 20% or so to start, then add 5% a week (or two) until you match the lights intensity.
