Hi everyone - I know this has been asked but it seems to depend a lot on tank size etc. so looking for some guidance on the correct settings for my tank. I have my first Zoa, and plan to have more easy/beginner corals throughout my tank. My tank is 21 inches tall. What should my violet, blues, whites, greens and reds be at? Lots of differing opinions has me confused here

Thanks!

I ran my nicrew 100 watt over my 32 gallon 18" depth at 75% blue and 50% white (I like a whiter tank). For a 21" depth I might start at 75% but might be tempted to go to 100%, depends how the corals react at 75%. Thats just what I would do, good luck

Thank you! Do you keep the other colours at 0?

I did not have the controller, I could just push the buttons on the light, so only controls the blue and white. If you have access to the red and green I would suggest 15%-20% something like that, thats how I set it on my other lights.
