Lighting

[Danvl1991]

Ive had a searvh about my light but cant find anything about this particular one, ive got a v2 ilumenair compact 25w, on my 12gal nano, its got 3 channels, white, red and blue/nuv, ive attached a picture with more info, but im under the impression red is not very good for the tank as it can promote alge and can cause corals to not do as well, ive attached pictures of my current schedule, im not using any red but id like to purely for aesthetics, obviously i wont if will caise issues, does the schedule look ok (colors and time wise)?

Everybody’s tank is different plus depending on the types of corals and certain inverts you have or plan on obtaining their success and health definitely has a lot to do with your lighting intensity, duration and kelvin.

I only plan to keep softies, at the moment i have xenias, gsp and some zoas, invert wise i have a hermit, 2 nassarius snails and a cleaner shrimp, id like to get a few turbo snails but live stock i think thats all im going to get, id like to get a few more soft corals, lighting is the hardest thing im trying to get my head around, i know every tank/light model is different but i just want to know if im on the roght track
