Hey everyone, was planning to pick up my first corals tonight. Recently got a noopsyche light installed over a waterbox 35.2. The LFS has offered to let me borrow their par meter, but I don't think I'll have time this weekend to get the readings. Figured most people don't use a par meter so it's okay to get some more hardy corals first.

Light is about 8.5in above water line, 14in up from top of rock structure, and 24-25in off from the sand bed.

My current settings ramp up to: 30, 60, 60, 48, 60, 20

This lasts for about 6hrs. Total lights on is 8am - 9pm, with the early and late hours very low lighting at: 0, 10, 10, 10, 10, 0 & 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0

Think this would be okay? I prefer a whiter/more realistic coloration during the day.
 
I would run more blues and then blend the white until it pleases you.
