I have been digging around trying to find a clear picture of what I should set my light at. I currently run it at about 74% Channel B+C(blues about 25 percent channel A (cool Whites) 45 percent channel D(warm whites+red). This mix seems to look really nice, warm with a slight pinkish hue.

That being said I am not sure I am meeting the spectral needs of the tank? Looking on line for a clear example of their presets I find two different settings. On their page in their manual it has he white channels up around 90 and blues around 72. Folks on this board have posted the preset settings from the ICV6 module and it shows Channel A at around 30 I think, B and C at 72, D at 54. So I am conflicted.

Any help is appreciated
 
First thing, what do you have in your tank, softies,lps, sps?
 
Mixed. Hard corals up higher. Lbs mid, softies low. Most things are doing OK but I think with proper spectrum they could be better
 
I have mine set up at A-60, B-78, C-70, D-65, sps and lps tank. The problem is when u raise channels A and D you wash out the blues, but had to do it because of sps, wasn't getting enough par.

Just checked, I actually have C at 90
 
I am good with washing out the blues during daylight peak. I find a lot of tanks run way to blue for my tastes.

I keep channel A lower for more warm lower Kelvin look. Though like my original post asked, I am not sure my corals are getting what they need, but it looks nice
