I have a 50 gal FOWLR aquarium that has been up for about one year. I have a FluvalSmart 2.0 LED light bar, but am not sure what combination of red, blue, green, & white spectrums to use. I tinkered with the settings after reading several articles and I don’t know the original factory settings, and see no way to return to them. Any suggestion of the proper balance of spectrums would be appreciated.

As far as I know, when it comes to FOWLR you should be able to tune the lights to whatever you find most aesthetically pleasing with little to no downside (assuming the settings aren't something crazy like red only hahah)

That said, from the Fluval app you should be able to select the light, go to the "Auto" screen (where you set the time/ramp up ramp down), then select "export" (think towards the bottom of the screen), and choose one of the presets.
