Hello everyone,

I bought my first saltwater aquarium 1 month ago.
It is 30 gallons and is 12 inches deep.
It is fitted with 2 Fluval nano marine 3.0 (20Watt).
I am at the end of the cycle period and want to start with the first corals (Softies).
Does anyone know the best light settings in general?
Settings now:
Pink: 50%
Cyan: 100%
Blue: 100%
Purple: 100%
Cold white: 65%

The light period is 10 hours + 1 hour sunrise and 1 hour sunset.

Thanks in advance :)

As long as you've at least got lots of blue and some white, your corals will be happy. It really comes down to aesthetics and what looks good to you. If you have some default templates with the lights I'd experiment with those before adding corals (I might be inclined to try the pink @25%, cyan @50%, purple @75% and white @50%).

Also, you'll want to deal with your green hair algae problem first before adding corals.
