I'm currently running a Prime HD over my 10g nano. Mixed bag in there right now. Acan, some zoas, couple euphyllia, couple blastos, a duncan and a small rainbow BTA.

On my 60 cube I have my Maxspect set to go lights out during the night (10pm to 6am). At 6 they start to ramp up slowly.

Since the AI Prime offers the Lunar cycle feature I'd like to take advantage of it but how bright is too bright? Is it worth it or should I just go lights out on the 10g as well? I've played around with some of the channels but they all seem like they'd be really bright. I don't mind it being illuminated at night, it won't bother me. I'm mostly concerned about the corals. The UV channel gives a nice glow to the tank but does it actually impact the corals? Better to go with a Royal Blue or Blue channel?

Moon lights are for Aesthetics. Your choice. Not needed.
