Viparspectra 165w settings

[MarkAshlee2021]

Hi everyone I have just bought a viparspectra 165w, I have a 300 litre tank I have an anemone, pulsing xena, star polyps, and a pink pussey coral and fish lol. I have currently set it to 60 blue, and 1 white. Is this OK or should I have it on other Settings, also tank is 4 Feet wide and 2 feet deed. Only have one at the minute til I get another at the end of the week so it's in the middle 12 inches above the water. Thanks in advance

I ran mine at 60blue 20white. FYI outside of underneath the par will drop quickly. I'd mount at least 12" above the water

I think that once you get the second fixture, you'll be pretty happy with the coverage for a 4x2 tank. It will help to have the fixture fairly high, like 18"+ above the water instead of 12".

It seems like most people run blues at about half power and then adjust the whites up until they like the color.
