I just got my meridian 35 for my innovative marine ext100 (48”x24”x20”) and I was wondering if anyone had some insight as to how to set up the schedule. It’s going to be a acro dominant mixed reef. I’ve seen some people use a peak light of 3-6 hours full spectrum then taper down to mainly blues turned down the remainder and some use a more balanced basic schedule over the whole photo period I plan to have it set up to run from about 9:30am-10:30pm (same run time as my current smaller tank) any help or insight would be appreciated thank you 😁

@Troylee has a schedule shared and he has a successful SPS tank. You can change Sunrise and sunset to suit your needs. I run photons over my SPS so my schedule won't work for you.
I think he is running meridians now but I could be wrong.
