New to reefs not sure what settings for light

[wyatt2847]

I have a 20 gallon dropoff with a AI prime 16hd with some soft corals and a bubble tip anemone what would be a good spectrum ive been running 100 for everything but red and green which is at 4 and cool white is 30 but i think it might be too high and i also want the fluorescent look on my corals

This is the best spectrum for growth with the AI Prime (although it may be different with the 16, not sure).

But I would plug these into an excel file and run the max at 40% and then adjust everything else to that. There's also this: https://www.aquaillumination.com/lightsciences/signature-series where you can download profiles and use ones that you like. WWC also has their schedules available for download. Just search around online and you can find a ton of profiles to use/copy.

I run the Bigsby setup on my waterbox 20. To be honest I'm not sure if it's what's best for my corals but I like the later schedule. It gives me my best viewing time in the late afternoon, when I'm able to enjoy it.
