Settings for a Phlizon??

[FishyThings]

Right now I have the light sitting around 26" away from my corals in the tank. It is raised 12" from the water. Im wondering what settings I should use for my lps and softie dominated tank. 50% blue 5% white??? 100% blue 20% white???? so far the softies seem to like both 100% blue and 50% blue with 10% white and 20% white.

I would like to get nice growth and nice colors at the same time but growth is more of a priority.

Oops forgot to mention but its a 18" tall tank

I ran my black boxes at 20 white 60 blue

 

[FishyThings]

how tall was your tank?

how tall was your tank?

24" tall. If I remember correctly I started at 20/40 or so and ramped them up over a week when adding new corals

 

[FishyThings]

ok so yeah then I will go a little less than what you ran probably 15% white 50% blue

 

[FishyThings]

so during the night i'll then switch to around 5% white and 50% blue

I wouldn't leave the lights on over night. Without a controller I would only have the light on 10 to 12 hours. Black out over night.

Yeah that sounds sensible, I'd run it at around 50% blue and 10% white
