Steves LED Biocube 29

I recently purchased a retrofit kit from Steves LEDs for my coralife Biocube 29. Its all installed and running now. Im looking for some advice from somebody who also has this same retrofit kit.
What lighting percentage did you start out at?
Do you run all the channels at the same percentage?
How long before you start upping the percentage and whats good to max out at.

I ordered the 14K JBM special with the typhoon controller.

Any advice from anybody would be very helpful and appreciated. Thank you

I got the rapidled kit on mine and suggest you start around 40% and slowly increase it weekly. I still only run my lights at 65-70%. Any higher than that my corals seem to start bleaching. I mostly have zoas and lps though so if you have sps you might go higher. Best advice is start low and slowly increase them over time and watch how your corals respond. I run my lights 60%blue and 40%white.

Thank you for the info! I'm still toying around with them and figuring out how I want them. So far nothing in the tank seems to be upset... I stared the whites at 45 percent and the blues at 50.
