Responding because it is difficult to find settings for Noops. I have the K7s, but I used an old thread to dial in my settings. Here is the thread I used to mimic the AB+ https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/n...imsons-review-and-growth-thread.528007/page-2 If you are just using Zoas and LPS, dial it down a little more or lower the whites, but the AB+ spectrum is supposed to grow and color the best from what I understand.
Post 123 here has some par readings for a similar footprint. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/r2r-par-database.538894/page-7

I realized I think I posted the wrong thread and don't want to spread misinformation. Here is the right one for Noopsyche ab+ with the response from Dana Riddle https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/noopsyche-k7-pro-ii-review-and-growth-thread.527829/page-3

I have the k7 v3 which is roughly 2x the mini wattage. Not sure if it’s exactly 2:1 but here’s my settings on a 20g display for zoanthids, other LPS, and some sps towards the top. The cool white band is hard to see but peaks at 12%. If you’re trying for AB+ the blue/royal/UVs should be 4x the other channels roughly.

I would also be interested in recreating the AB+. Having trouble trying to decider from the thread that was posted on how to implement in my Wi-Fi noops.

I just set my Noop to AP and connect directly. No reason to have a terribly insecure product connected to your wifi. When you push R on module it will blink red for AP. Open wifi on phone and connect to unit. Password is 1-8.

I just connect as @Genetics mentioned through AP as well. As for AB+, I believe I correctly linked it above. I also heard from someone else that AB+ is just Blues and UV at 4x the number for whites. So for example on the Noops, set Blue, Light Blue, and UV (Violet) at 80%, then whites would be 20%. Reds and Greens can be the same as the whites, but whites includes alot of that spectrum, so adjust to how you like it.

Just changed my spectrum to hopefully mimic ab+. I have never seen ab+ in person so I’m not sure. White peaks at 20 let me know if I should change anything

I kind of agree with you, I've tried the same with my noops as I mentioned above. I think the other factor to take into account would be the ratio or amount of whites to blue spectrum LEDs. I think for my eyes, with the same ratio you are running, I feel like it might need more white to be AB+. There might be less whites in the Noopsyches.Just changed my spectrum to hopefully mimic ab+. I have never seen ab+ in person so I’m not sure. White peaks at 20 let me know if I should change anything

I was actually surprised how much more white than I expected. I really expected it to be very winded blue.

Yes i do. It’s bluer but not windex blue.

Excellent. Is this on a mini? That’s a pretty long light cycle. Do you notice any I’ll effects if the lights on for that long?Here’s my current Noo-Psyche settings. About 700 Par at water surface. Should grow about anything.

It’s long enough that most days I can feed them in the morning and night. I do feel that some corals close up a little early going into the evening but haven’t had anything die on me or go into decline. This is on a Redsea Reefer Nano. About 20g display with 8g sump. I have seen everything really seems to like when I turn up UV spectrum but now that I’m pushing 700 Par at water I’m done going up.
Here’s recent pics.

Here is what mine looks like currently. Trying to replicate the AB+. I do like the look of the tank but can’t speak for coral health as this tank doesn’t have any in it yet. They are still in quarantine.
