Does anyone out there still use these lights? I bought these lights when I bought the aquarium 6 months ago not knowing there were better out there. I’m trying to figure out the best time table and the best blue and white light intensity. I have all soft corals. Any help would be appreciated.

normally people run their tanks 10-12hrs photo period, i personally take the first hour to ramp up the blues, second hour ramp the blues and the whites to full, then in the reverse at the end of the day. The mix of white and blue is normally up to personal preference. hope this helps

I use an Orbit because I don't need a lot of light and they use very little power. It looks to me that what ever you are doing is working very well. I wouldn't be concerned about your lighting for the present inhabitants.
