Hi, I’m a bit of a newbie here. I have a 36 gallon bow front. It’s about 7 months old. Housing a mandarin dragonette, fire fish, clown, 2 hammer corals, candy cane, Duncan, 2 hydnophora & 1 birdsnest.
I’m looking for a setting for coral growth but with lower blues. The high blue lights really aggravate my migraines unfortunately.
Can you run UV and Violet with low blues and still have a successful tank? You can see my current settings below.

Hello and welcome to the channel. I have been setting up my lights using the Apogee full spectrum PAR meter for each coral placement according to their needs. I think BRS has these to rent which might be a good idea to see what your PAR is at each location. I have my green and red set to zero and white a little higher than yours. Just my thoughts.
