Hello everyone. I have had my tank up close to 9 months. It is 75 gal with sump,protein skimmer .i bought 2 ocean revive Arctic 1247 led lights. There are two setups I can use. I don't know what intensity to set them to for maximum growth and color. Can anyone help me please? They do not have morning or sundown regulator. My tank has mostly zoas ,leathers three anenome a and a few fish. I will try and send a pic as well. Any help appreciated.

A lot of folks like to use 40% white and @60% blue. On my R420R I use 40% white and 65% blue on my frag tank. I believe that's a good start point. Make changes slowly, especially with increasing intensity. See how your tank reacts to the changes and go from there. JMO

+1 on moving slowly. LED can be very intense light. Take your time and acclimate over weeks/months. I switch from PC to LED a few months ago, and started low (10%) and slowly moved up to 60% blue, 35% white over 8 weeks. Maybe I was too cautious but didn't lose anything, and now everyone is happy.
Every thing I have came out of a tank with LED's and all seemed pretty bright, I'm running two 165w mars Aqua 12" above water with 60 degree lenses. I run 75% blues and 55% whites (approximately) every thing looks healthy so far. My tank is 24" deep.
