Kessil AP9x Settings - Waterbox 100.3 Mixed Reed

[eraml]

Looking for some input/advice on my lighting for my Waterbox 100.3
I have the new AP9x sitting ~10 inches above the water level, and placed dead center of the overflow box.

I am going for a mixed reef - have mushrooms/zoas/clove polyps near the bottom; have a bubble coral ~6 inches off bottom.
Looking to add frogspawn / torch to the bottom or ~6inches up; likely a scoly at some point. And then later add some SPS in the middle/upper sections of the tank

I have my lights on from 9am - 9pm - see pics for Intensity settings.
At the 35% intensity periods, I have the Color set to 35%
At the 50% intensity period (midday), I have the color set to 45%

Actually just did a review on this light! Hope you like the video and channel!

I really like the light, working on the app can be hard at times!

@ReeferBlaine has a good review of the Kessil. Perhaps he can help.

Looking for any additional input on the length I have the lights on, and the amount of time they are in the 50% intensity level during mid-day

Thanks! Yes I saw that - I am in similar position.

12 hour period.
4hrs peak at 50% intensity
2 hours pre peak & 1 hour post peak at 35% intensity
Then few hours ramp up/down in the morning/evening

How old is your tank? I have a new tank and have similar settings but with an 8 hour total period and only 2 hours at 55%
