Hello all. I hate to do this, but can someone tell me what is the best setting for the Kessil A360N E series over a tank that is 17" deep and the light is 8" from the surface. I have one fixture. My problem is that I have 3 bubble tip anemones and they are all white; even though I have been feeding them a few times a week with shrimp and silversides. The water quality parameters are perfect and in line with what is recommended. I can't find anything on the Kessil website about this. Any clue what my intensity and color should be set at? All other animals in the tank look great. I have a breeding pair of clowns, some mushroom corals, some zooanthids, a cowrie and some pipe organ. Any advice will be much appreciated!

if they are infact all white showing no color than it might not be the light and instead they may need a zooxanthellae transplant. the zoo is what gives it its color and processes light through photosenthesis and feeds the anemone naturally. if they have no zoox they are white and must be fed in order to gain any nutrition. research zoox transplants or feeding zoox and go from there

I had a 35 cube up until about a month ago with my a360we. My bubble tip did not like the intensity above 70%. I also noticed that it liked more white light. My current setting of color is 40%. I start out at 5% and build up to the 70%, then go back down to the 5% intensity, but I maintain the 40% color. I have upgraded to a 60 cube now and have kept the same setting. If it is a new light, I would start it out low. I started my a360 at 25% intensity, then added 10% every week until I got to the point where all the livestock in my tank did not like it.
