Hi all,

i have an aqua one mini reef 160. On it I have a Mari glow led light system that came with the tank (some specs below , it’s the 40w).
It basic but looks like it should be good for lps and softies.

I wanted to know what sort of timings people recommend?

I have been reading blue is better for coral growth, so should it be a large blue run up and wind down with only a bit during the day as combined?

I am currently running.

8-830am blue
830-730 both white and blue
730-8 blue

12 hours total light time

I wanted to know if I needed more blue ramp up and less white? Only white for a period? any other opinions?

thanks
