Can anyone give me some pointers? I'm coming from 2x36w 50/50 PCs (measured about 18-20 lux with phone app at 2") and my tank is about 12" deep (Nano Cube). I want to eventually ramp up the lighting but don't want to shock anything. I have various softies with a lepto dead center on the sand bed and a stylo up near the surface. I'd eventually like to keep a crocea clam. These are the settings I'm using right now, with lights on 8AM-9PM and 120 min morning and evening (just installed lights today, a NanoBox large retro kit). I prefer a more white look to the eye which I'm having trouble nailing, but good growth and health in my corals are more important. I have all of the active weather effects turned off and these settings give me 20-22K lux (phone app at 2") at midday.

Thanks!!

Thanks Denise! I found that thread and have been playing with it but it does seem like my channels are showing up oddly. I did go ahead and drop him an email. Which light do you have, and does your Bluefish look like this??

Okay, got my channels labeled (hopefully) correctly, so now I'm feeling like I have a handle on this!

Dave from Nano Box emailed me back first thing this morning. By then I had most everything labeled correctly but he still took a few minutes to jump onto my account and double-check everything. Great service!
