I recently purchased the Chinese black box LEDs 120w for my 26g bio cube . Not having luck on finding the right settings all softies right now in that tank . Can some one help

What settings do you currently have the lights on, and how high above the water are they?

10-12" above tank and I was told to try 30 whites 50 blues

That seems high to me to start off with. Softies shouldn't need a ton of light imo. I would try to start on 30 for the blues, and 20 for the whites. Let them adjust for a few weeks if these corals haven't been housed under leds. Adjust accordingly once they acclimate to your lighting.You can definitely burn/ melt some coral with that light. I speak from experience haha. Hope this helps some.

Thanks I actually pulled these corals outta my larger tank that has metal hilides so I assumed that they could handle the little led box lol guess not I guess they don't like it yet
