Hi everyone! Still getting the hang of asking questions on here hopefully i've been doing it right lol.

I am currently using a LED Fluval Aquasky 35W light for my aquarium, i know this is a fish only light typically but it was already being used before me. Without buying a new light could you guys recommend settings that will be okay for the fish and coral but still bring color.
I have:
-Mushroom Corals
-2 Clownfish
-2 Damsels ( Three striped & yellow tail blue damsel)
-1 Tuxedo Urchin
-3 Orange Linkia
-2 sand sifting stars
+my snails

It's bluetooth and comes with an app here's what it looks like:

Welcome to R2R.

Long story short, if you want to keep corals successfully you absolutely need better lighting.
Look at the Viperspectra, Smatfarm, Popbloom, Nicrew for better lighting.
Lighting can be complicated, a 35 watt fixture is not coral friendly.

How many starfish?

5 stars in total and so far the mushrooms are really thriving with this light they have spread and grown huge over the last couple of years. I just was looking for settings to use until I can get the correct light for everyone.
