Hey guys, first time making a post on here. Im needing help with finding a good schedule for my lights that would be the best fit for my tank. Im also running a 2 bulb t5 beside the radion. My tank is a mixed reef with more sps corals. I want to get the best growth possible out of everything. Im not a complete newbie but i dont have a clue about led lighting when it comes to growing corals. Today i was told that my uv spectrum should be turned way down. I had no idea and had mine set at 100% im currently running the ab+ program thats tweaked. I will post pics below.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Ps tank has been set up for about 7-8 months

I think UV is the most important spectrum besides royal blue and never turn my down. Those diodes are the most expensive ones (last I knew about) and are on there for good reason. I mean the ecotech programs they designed like AB+ use the UV channel and were designed for growth and color...

I don't see a problem with 100% and AB+. Just watch the corals for signs of bleaching but I think it should be fine.
