welcome to the dark side! ;Clown

we run the following settings on our 5' blaze:

1 hr of 60 uv, 120 blue
6 hrs of 120 white, 120 uv, 20 blue
4 hrs of 60 uv, 120 blue

try something like the above. your corals will experience a period of adjustment... watch for param swings (consumption down in the beginning). we've run MH side-by-side with illumagics... very different lights, they do very different things to corals. overall, think of blazes as a gentler light, but totally superpowered in the UV department!
