Hi everyone, is there anyone out there using this light for a smaller tank?
What are your settings?
My tank is 30x40x40cm. And I do see a ab+ setting, if I wanted to use 50% max, I just need divide it by 2 right?

Is it correct?

@noopsyche please guide me
The main issue is what coral you are trying to keep. I would really suggest renting or borrowing a par meter so that the changes you make will benefit the coral that are being kept.
You are correct on the modification of the schedule and divide everything by 2 but still do so with a par meter so the best intensity is met.

I’m going with lps, maybe later I’ll add some sps frag.
Okay, but in your opinion, which setting will do best in smaller tank?

If I understood @Manose's response correctly, your approach will likely get you close, but you still should use a PAR meter to confirm and dial it in. Good luck!
