LPS settings for SPS acropora corals

[Reza’s Mixed_Reef]

Hey guys, I am a fan of blue light in reef tanks. I keep a lot of fluo corals and love to watch them under a more blue light rather then white. My tank is a mixed reef with a sps overhand.

I have a par meter and I am getting close to 400 par at top and 100 par at the bottom.

Tank is running 6 months, and all is thriving. Minimum los of corals so far..

I am wondering for experiences of other reefers under blue light for SPS and the growth. And to how it effects the growth of the coals overal. I have a Straton first generation standard lps settings and it’s running full blue and 140% white. That’s still a lot of white but far les if I check in sps for instance .. looking forward for ya experiences or vieuw on the matter.

Ps: some random shots of a few corals in my tank.

Most people with acro tanks will have a white peak period and run blues in the mornings and evening.

I have a standard setting. 1 hour full blue when lights go on and 1 hour before lights go out.

Well then this is not alot of blue imo.
Some run 5hrs white and then the rest of the lighting phase only blue for another maybe 5hrs

It’s 200% blue,violet, and a nother 200% blue. 90 % white and 50 red and green. I have a straton first generation. It’s not my preset. I’ve used the standard LPS settings of ATI. Because I like to watch a more blue color light in a reef. I relayed on there experience in manufacturing and development in the hobby. So a preset from them is safe.

I checked there mixed reef preset and it’s to white for my taste.. i ramped the light % up to 400 par on top. Around 40-100 bottom on sand.
