I have a 55 litre nano with my light hanging 10" above the water surface and the tank is 16" deep. Wanted to know whether my current settings are okay or whether I should adjust them in any way, maybe my intensity is too low etc... Currently I only have 1 SPS and would like to add more in the near future. So I guess my only high light requirements at the moment are for my acro at the back top and the BTA on the mid left.

To get a better idea here is a picture of my tank from today.

Current lighting schedule:


Colour Intensity

11:00 0% 5%
13:00 15% 15%
15:00 60% 40%
18:00 60% 40%
20:00 30% 25%
21:00 0% 0%
 
Bump!
I have a similar set-up. My intensity is at 40% and cooked couple Montis that was placed low. Now dialed down to 30/35%. Color at 25/30%.
My green and red Cyphastrea are ok that are placed on top.
Taggin'along.
 
How long have you had the light at these settings? If its been a while I would leave it as your coral looks to be doing well.
I keep mine set to 50 percent color and power.
 
I use 1 kessil A360we on my 50 cube and my intensity tops out at 55% and color at I think 35 or 40. Your tank is not that deep nor big so I'd say your settings seem pretty good as they are...if I had to pick something I'd say maybe turn your color down a bit and top out at 40-50. However, if you've had your settings dialed in for a while already then it looks to be that your corals are doing fine with those percentages.
 
I immediately lowered my intensity to 35% after reading the first post in this thread. I thought the blue/white of Kessil's didn't matter as it's pure colour hence why we have a different intensity setting unlike other lights?
