Proper light settings Fluval 3.0

[Beetlejuice]

I have a 29G tank, fluval 3.0. I need some expert opinions on a better daylight setting for a general spread different corals. Any suggestions?

 

[Spare time]

Max out all blue/purple channels, run little or no red, and whatever white level is pleasing to you.

I find if my whites and red are beyond 25% I get an algae bloom.
That said. I run the blues, violet, aqua at 100%.
I use the pro mode to set up a schedule.

Is your schedule set up per your work/time at home?

Why do you keep the cyan so low? Any other tips? I’m new and interested in optimizing these lights.

I keep green and red low so i can bump up the white to lower the chances of a algae bloom. Not saying its the right setting for you though. I also have a fluval 2.0 at the back to just run on blue light.

What are the colours of your coral like under those settings? Do you have a pic?

Excuse my inexperience.
Why do you keep the levels so low?

Cheers!

Have you got a pic of how the lights look on your settings with the blue, violet and cyan?

Red 5%
