Red Sea max nano

[Birdman3611]

I set up my Red Sea max nano over thanksgiving break. I have some awesome fish in there, now I am excited too start getting some coral. I have the Red Sea 50 LED and I am not sure what percentage I need my blues and whites. I want to have soft coral, LPS (Euphyllia) and maybe just 2-3 sps sticks down the road. Also plan on getting a carpet nem when tank is mature. Can anyone send me what they would use for lighting schedule?

There is a ton of lighting schedules here on R2R.

OK, so can somebody with a Red Sea system help this person out?

I have the same tank and light. Initial suggestion would be 75% blue and 30% white. This should be more than enough for lps (would suggest to start lower and slowly increase intensity. With this schedule i get some 100-140 par at the bottom and 200+ Par at the top of the tank. I run my light a bit higher (85% b / 31% w) since i have some sps at the top section of my tank but plenty of lps and zoas as well in the tank

Just out of curiosity, what his and what CUC do you have in the tank?

I have 1 tuxedo uchin, 4 sand snails, 2 turbo and 4 other snails. The uchin is fantastic, just need to secure frags to avoid it ending up as a hat.
