Hello,

Just received my light yesterday and was playing around with the app. It has quite a few presets but they all seem relatively similar.

I'm new to LEDs as I've previously always ran T5.

Any suggestions on photo period and intensity settings that would work for a mixed reef? I plan on doing mainly softies and LPS but may also add in an SPS or two.

The light has 4 channels that appear to be two white channels, blue and purple.

Photo period varies but generally anywhere from 8 to 12 hours. And for intensities i'd start out low and work your way up. Start out low, and raise the intensity by 10% a week until you find the sweet spot that your corals like. if they start to look annoyed back it off by 10% and wait a week. If they look better after that then there is your sweet spot :)
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
