Current pro lighting system settings for zoas?

[Mustangtodd97]

i am new to the hobby. Just got my 1st corals (3 zoas). Wondering if anyone is using the Current Pro Lighting system successfully with Zoas? If so, what lighting spectrum are you using (white/blue/red % of intensity) and for how long each day? Also, how many inches deep are they down from the top of the tank? Thank you.

Cool looking setup! I'd definitely start with the zoas on the bottom, preferably in the sand bed if they're still on a frag plug. Start with 20-30% intensity (zoas don't require a lot of light) and slowly ramp it up by %5 increments weekly until you find a sweet spot that they like If you see them starting to close up or look unhappy, dial it back by %10 and watch them to see if they improve
