just got a AP700. I have a four foot tank by two foot. 16 inches deep. What settings do I set the lights at? Before I had ocean revive and I have blues white and then off. So I figured blue was evening whites was day and off mean go to bed lol. Can someone give me suggestions please
 
Is the kessil the only light over the tank?
If so you'll want to mount it pretty high to cover that tank. Mount it somewhere around 14 to 16 inches off the waters surface. Intensity you'll want to turn it up to around 80-100% at that mounting height. And as far as color, the nice thing about kessil is that no matter what color you choose the spectral blend is optimized for coral. So you can turn it up to whatever color you think makes your tank look best. I prefer my tanks on the blue side so I had it ramp up from deep ocean blue in the morning with low intensity up to ocean blue 3 and my set lax intensity and then back down to off.
Hope this helps :)
