Hello I have two xr30 pros gen 6 that turn on at 11 am and turn off 9pm I’m running the blues at 100% the whites at 10 % then goes down to 6% red and green are 5% and uv 45% violet at 75%. I’ve got a hammer and a few torches, some goniopora, zoas, and polyps. My question here is this a fine schedule is there sometbing I’m missing? The schedule is set to 52% it is a 24 inch tall tank.
 
I had my lights on from 7:30am and off at 10:30pm, but only stay at the peak for around 6 hours. It is better to get/rent a par meter to measure your light intensity, just based on these numbers it is impossible to know if it is good or not.
