Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the LED scene and have a few questions. I have two 120w full spectrum LED's over a 75 mixed reef.
What value or percentage of blues vs. whites do you use? 60/40, 75/25, etc
From what I understand, most coral light necessity is in the blue spectrum, but I'm sure there are benefits from the rest just maybe not as much.
What lighting schedule do you run? 12hrs blues 8hrs both, etc
I would like to get my setup tuned in for best color and growth without waiting a year for trial and error. All water parameters are good and I have a variety of softies, LPS, and SPS. My lights currently are 60/60, 11.5hrs blue and 9.5hrs both. All coral seem to be doing good currently.
Also is it possible to bleach the liverock with too much light? Seems like the higher rock is turning lighter.
