30 gallon tank that is 16.5 inches tall. My light is 5 inches off the surface of the water.
I'd say to start at 50% color and 30% intensity, and slowly work it up to about 50% intensity. I have my kessils 6.5 off the water surface and I get about 230-240 par at my sps corals at 65%. So you want to start low and slowly work it up.
How should it be distributed across the blue and white channels?
The nice thing with the kessil is it really doesn't matter what color you put it at it's going to receive the correct Spectrum acrossed it all so the color is really more or less for your aesthetics how you want the tank to look. you could leave it at 0% color full time and they'd be fine, same with leaving it at 60-70 or even 80 color all the time.
I will ensure that the intensity is 50% total then. Thanks for the advice
Yes I am. I have none of the adjust ability of the new kessils.
I have since done the same. I run the blue channel at 50% and the white at around 10%. I thought running it higher was a good idea, but my brain coral got a bit more pale.
I upgraded to the A360WE two years ago, but when I took down the A350 I was at 15% white and around 65% blue
