Hey guys, I'm running a Giesemann infinity moonlight system that i recently salvaged from my LFS. I'm looking for any suggestions on good settings to keep it at with the tubes and the bulbs timing, dimming max and mins and dimming till times, also the cloud simulation and moonphase can be tweaked I dont have any experience with serious lighting so any advice would be super helpful! Currently a 75g Fowlr with a LTA and in a couple of months some coral additions.
 
My advice would be to mimic the suns pattern. Sunrise, sunset and for the period from say 12-2 in the afternoon, have your lights on full intensity. At night, use your moons and also, periodically you can put some cloud (reduced intensity) patterns in there to vary intensity.
