Hello all.

My parents bought me the Steve's led hood for my biocube for the holidays with the iridescence booster and controller. Does anyone have recommendations for the settings to prevent bleaching? I have lots of LPS and zoas. Thanks in advance.

I had Steve’s LED’s for my 12g nano and I had to turn them way down. It’s been a while but I think I had them no higher than about 20-30%. If you can get your hands on a par meter that would help. Good luck!

Yes, very strong light for sure. I ran blues about 40% and whites about 16%. I did a 120 min ramp with a 60 min white channel delay. Started at 9:00am and shut down by 11:00pm.
