I just changed routers on my house and had to change to the new ReefBreeders app for my photon on my frag tank. Now I have no idea what my settings were on the old app. I know I had just picked an existing schedule from the community that I liked. Any suggested preset schedules for a mixed reef 12” deep frag tank. Ideally like 10-9 or 10. Light is about 11” above the water.
 
Do you know what your par was before? I would just re-do the schedule yourself and mix the lights to your liking. The app is fairly easy to use. The only thing you want to match for sure is the par. If anything, be conservative and ramp up slowly if you didn't measure it previously.

I have a published schedule for a mostly sps/mixed reef, but I max my lights due to having a 30" deep tank.
 
No clue what par was, just no everything was growing and happy…lol!
