purchased, a second-hand setup 24x20x20 inch 157 litres, as my first tank.
Unbranded lights also came with the setup,
I am having trouble, setting them up correctly, as I'm getting a lot of algae growth on the glass, all my tests, are in acceptable parameters, I am lowering my salinity down to 25 from 26.
I have six small sps, not too far from the top, and they seem to be doing ok, and
Various soft corals mid and bottom, sorry being new, I am unable to name them yet.
However, im constantly changing the light settings, so wondering if someone can give me some guidance.
There are seasonal settings. As in winter autumn, ect
and there are 9 timed settings that can be changed throughout the day.
you have the option, to reduce this amount down.
You set, the time when the lights come on/change.
There are four settings for the lights W,B,C,M - if somebody could explain what W,B,C,M means please, each one can be set from 0 to 100.
Obviously, setting one comes on at 8.30 am, and setting nine goes off at 8.30pm
The lights are 10cm from the water, they could be risen up another 4cm.
any help please would be greatly appreciated
thanks Dave
