Hi all,

I just set up my nano 12 gallon and was curious how intensely (%) I should have my AI Prime light at. The light itself is on one of those bendable arms at 11" above the tank, plus the depth of the tank which is around 11", so altogether ~ 22in to ~23in to the bottom of the sand bed. I'm just concerned about running these leds too high. Right now I have the most intense part of the day for a few hours set at: UV 25%, Violet 5%, Deep Blue 75%, Blue 60%, Green 0%, Deep Red 10%, and Cool White 35%.

Any recommendations/guidance would be appreciated. I am familiar with running Hydras on a large system, but never an led like this on such a small one. I don't want to damage future corals from too intense of a light. Thank you! :D:D

I would run the primes as you run the Hydra's.
