Lights

I need suggestions. I have a 36g Bow tank that is temporary until I setup my 125g. What is a good setting using a 165w Mars light? Currently I have 80 blue 40 white. I have soft corals and a couple of Bubble Tip Anemones. Thanks

80% blue / 40% white is pretty high for the Mars Aquas. They're a lot stronger than they look. I have my black boxes set around the 25% mark, except the one over my display, which is set at close to 100% because it's off the tank about 2 feet. Do all the coral seem to be happy where they are?

Also, welcome to R2R I'm in MD also. Where abouts are you located?

Yes they look happy for now. It's been almost a week since I put them in. I'm in Aberdeen, MD. I've only been in the hobby 12 weeks.
