Picked up a reef radiance 165dm 2014 model with 120° optics . My lps and sps are not happy. Softies are loving it. Was told to keep it low for first week or so around 20% white and 40% blue to help them acclimate to the change from a 4x24 t5 setup. The tank seems really dark. It's a standard 46 gallon bow front. Fixture is about 6" from water top.

Someone else said crank it up to 40/80 but that seems insanely bright. Obviously don't want to burn all my friends in there also.

Suggestions on setting anyone ? Thanks. Pic is 25/50
