Hey everyone, i was wondering if anyone uses the fuval marine 3.0 and what settings you guys use in the app. I'm only plan on putting soft corals in the tankbfor now since i'm new to saltwater. If anyone has any tips, i'd appreciate it :)

It's a weak light, so everything at 100. I started my 32 gallon Fluval Flex with their stock light, bought the second bar, then realized I needed a real light. I still use the light bar over a 10 "softie" tank and do all settings at 100.

Btw, if you actually have LPS or something, you can use a magnetic frag rack and just have it towards the top. For whatever reason, the blues only on the Fluval light color things up super well. I use only blues late night as it goes into moonlight.

I have gonis and alveos that did fine in this tank, but again you had to have lights all at 100.

With the Fluval lights, my suggestion is to set all the "colors" (even the pink) at 100%, then add as much white as you need to hit your PAR goals. If you still can't get there, you can just add another Fluval light and repeat the process.
