Finally got a par reading on reefbreeder v2 48.
I want a mixed reef tank. Should I go 50% blue, 75%, or 100%?
On all par readings red, green, and white are 30%.
Had it on 50%

Any suggestion is welcome, thank you!!
 
No where an expert, so take my suggestion with grain of salt. I think you want the Scoly and Acan on the low 100 par, and torch on 200+. However, if you want to keep nice acro, you need to shot to 350+
I would say 50% if good, but your acro may not grow well

I was thinking of doing 75% blue, so it will hit most of the light requirement on my coral. I'll probably have to move Scoly and Acan around to a shaded place.

That will work, but I would suggest you to start low, like 50% at first, and slowly increase it to 75% over a few weeks.
