I am a new Nano. I have a question on the Steves LED/Bluefish mini retro for Biocube 32.
Tank details: Bio32, 10 weeks in, cycling with fish, Zoes & Frag 1st corals
Question - what should i set the lighting at now that I have a Steves Led retro'd? I want to start my coral collection and have a few small ones now.
Currently settings are as follows...
Channel 1 Blue 40%, Channel 2 White 20% (intensity level)
Times 8am - 8pm, 90 min ramp up and down
Morning blue 30% white 10% - 9am
Midday blue 40% white 20% - 1pm
Evening blue 35% white 10% - 5pm

People can suggest a ton of things but best thing is what the inhabitants tell you...

Correction...just realized the morning, midday, evening, night settings are the only way to regulate light intensity. I thought there was another setting for this but i dont think there is. So for now I set all 3 (morn, mid, eve) to 40% blue 20% white. Any suggestions?

start where you are and increase as your corals need. I started low and am up to 100 blues and 60 or 75 whites I think. Red and green also around 50
