Maxspect Razor R420R 180W settings

[Modest]

What would be good start settings for the A and B channels knowing
- 100% softies
- WH 22"
- fixtures 15" above water level?

I've had one of these for years and after lots and lots of fiddling with intensity and duration these are my settings :

8.00 A0 B0
9.00 A5 B40
11.00 A60 B80
15.00 A60 B80
19.00 A0 B60
20.00 A0 B0

I find the 1٪ moonlight just a bit too bright for fish

When I had my 160watt I was running

TP1 08:00 Ch1 0% Ch2 0%
TP2 09:30 Ch1 25% Ch2 45%
TP3 12:00 Ch1 45% Ch2 65%
TP4 17:00 Ch1 45% Ch2 65%
TP5 20:30 Ch1 25% Ch2 45%
TP6 22:00 Ch1 0% Ch2 0%

This was for a mixed reef on the stock legs which were or are 8 inches off the rim. I think you’d like this being your higher. My Zoas exploded under these settings.

I always used to run my blues at 100% before but since discovered algae prefer blue & red for growth any thoughts?
