I recently upgraded the light on my fluval evo 13.5 to the fluval marine 3.0 just wanted to know what the best settings are to have for it. I only have 2 clownfish in there at the moment.

Thanks.

Fish don’t care much about light like corals do so you can pick something that looks good to you.

The manufacture claims a 300-390 PAR 3” from the surface depending on length.

The light is very controllable, has a good spectrum, but if it’s pushing in the 300 Par range, maybe run 50%-70% of max output.

The more the intensity, the more you’ll get algae growth, especially the reds, so more, is not necessarily better in your current set up.
