This is what I did for tank and it seemed to work. I was considering going from LED to MH but decided to give my AI Vegas another shot. I have a 30 inch deep mixed tank and could not seem to get the lights set to make everyone happy, so I set blues on 95 percent red and green to 50 percent white to 40 percent, lights came on at 9 am with a 5 hour ramp up time then start turning off at 6 pm with a 5 hour ramp down. Then I watched my tank every hour over a few days and watched for things like polyp extension and when thing generally looked happy and wrote down the settings for that hour, I then turned lights down to that setting. Blues now 80 red 30 green 30 white 25, been about a month and the improvement has been substantial. I also left the 5 hour ramp time. Seems to work for my tank. Any thoughts?

sound like you got it figured out. good job!

Each tank is different in every way, you have to see how your corals react to changes and if it is positive you are going in the right direction
