I have a a 57 gallon tank stocked with acan,mushrooms,zoas,suns,favia,bubble,Duncan and frogspawn. They are all doing fine and I see better growth in some than others.
I have 2 AI prime units on the back.
I am so confused on how to set them for maximum performance in getting the colors of the coral and the look of the tank.
Right now they are set basically with the easy setup that was with the software.
They have been adjusted to this setting for quite a while.
Sunrise 10 am
Sunset 6pm
Ramp up and down for 1 hr
uv 16
Violet 25
Deep blue 12
Blue 13
Green 10
Deep red 9
Cool white 41
What should be my goal?
At night I don't get to enjoy them because I have no lights running and would like to know what can I set the blues and whites to and look at them until I'm done and it won't set off the algae?
Are they getting too much light during the day?

Have you gotten this resolved? If not, first thing would be to change the sunrise/sunset hours so tank will be lit when you want to view. Then gradually, weekly, increase the color spectrums of your choice. I would ultimately bring the blues violets, uv up to at least 60%. Just got my Prime HD and playing with it on a small frag tank. Love it.
