Turn the channels up to full. Slowly pull each channel down one by one and find the color that looks best.
Rember the ratio that you get.

Then , set that same ratio to the correct intensity for your tank and live stock.

I already did and i ended up cutting out the red and the green completely, so right now im at 100percent blue and 45 percent white

Ok then.
Set the intensity for the tank.
You may need to use a lux or par meter , or , take a guess based on the specs on the orbit site and slowly increase intensity and watch the coral. Find the sweet spot that way.
