Reef breeders photon 48 settings?

Just wondering what the max everyone's running. I have the fixture hung 9" above my 120 (4x2x2). Mostly lps and zoas.. I like more of a whiteish natural look, I do run full blues at night for that intense color pop. I'm at about 65 max on both channels for about 4 hrs. Some of my zoas almost seem to be reaching, either I'm not running enough light or not running the max setting for long enough.

Look into lux meters here on the site. Search me or mcarrol and lux meter.
Lux can be pretty easily converted to par despite what THEY say. You can very likely in crease your lighting intensity with no worries.
Sounds like you have a good handle on what you like and what your doing as far as color.

With LPS/Zoos you should be fine around 50-65% power on your main channels (3-6). Work up to that over about a month and your corals should acclimate to the light just fine.

Just got a set of these and must say i'm in love with them. Long time T5H User and must say this is a much better solution.
More control, less stressful and having to worry weather or not your bulbs are needing to be replaced. Also better use with
being able to tailor fit your needs. What i need is to figure out the best possible settings over a 24 hour period to simulate the day and night cycle for SPS and LPS.
90g Long with Golden Reef Sand Arag. Any help what I should set these too with variation of light for my setup? The light is about 9 inches above the water in my canopy. Lid is off and i'm
using the internal side sections to set the light with wood on the inside of the canopy sides. Please and thank you for anyone's help with this!
