Hello, I just switched my 75 mixed reef to a deep blue 60 rimless shallow tank and also switched my lighting. I was running some China leds and a 4 bulb t5 and switched to 2 kessil 360w tuna blue with the controller and was just curious as to what intensity I should run them with it being a shallow tank. I'll upload a pic of the old tank but don't really have any good ones yet of the new one other..than just a pic of the setup.

Because it is a shallow tank and your lights are not extra high up , I would not go above 50%

I'd start low on intensity and gradually increase it to acclimate your corals. They are stronger than they look.
