Kessil settings

[PAdrone]

Hi, new to saltwater aquariums, I purchased a five year old operating set up about 2 months ago, finally getting things back in order after the move.
I have 2 kessil tuna blue 160 now and was wondering what a good program would be for the kessil controller. I have a 75 gallon aquarium with live rock and a few corals and fish.
Just wondering what a good light schedule program would be for the corals. Thanks for your help!

On a 75 you'll likely be able to turn the lights up pretty high, 80%-100% intensity. What types of corals do you currently have?

A leather, and a few zoas and mushrooms for now.

Depended on how far off the waters surface you have the lights. You can turn them up to the percentages mentioned above

Hi welcome to R2R.

I have the same set up on my 75 gallon tank. In my tank I have some softies and the rest is LPS corals. I use the Kessil Spectral Controller, this is what I have on my six points:

1- 0 5
2- 25 40
3- 50 80
4- 50 80
5- 25 40
6- 0 0

I used the youtube video from Bulk Reef Supply to help me. My lights are 7 inches from the water. I hope this helps you out some.

Thank you, what time intervals for the 6 points?

@PAdrone , you have softies for corals. I would use the following intensity points 50 instead of the 80, and use 25 instead of the 40. This would be a good starting point for your situation.
