Hello,

I need a little help. I have a Spectra Aquanight M029 V1 LED light above my tank, but I don't know what the ideal brightness is.
Anyone who has a similar light, can you tell me what works for them?

Thank you in advance for your replies!

The light will grow coral. It’s a budget light but one of the better ones. You will need to run the blues high. Probably 70-90%. I’d start at 70% with the blue channel.

Whites start low and increase until visually appealing and the overall color you want.

The coral growth will come from the blues. The color of the tank is adjusted with the whites
