Decided to upgrade lighting to an AI Prime, currently have and only plan to keep softies and LPS. What would be an ideal lighting schedule to use and at what levels? I’ve heard about David Saxby’s, but have read it needs to be turned down for a smaller tank, but I’m not sure I’ll even know how to do that lol. What levels would you guys recommend I run in my tank?
 
I have one running one my 5 gallon reef. It is about a foot above the water. I set my lights to mimic the sun from sunrise to sunset. So I start with the UV, Purple, dark Blue and blue then graduall up them and add the green, red and white starting low again, so that around 2 pm each color is on full intensity. An hour after that, I start cutting back on the white, red and green so that by 6pm they are off leaving just the blue, deep blue, purple and UV whic also slowly get reduced so by 8pm tank is dark.
