For all the kessil a360we owners out there what kind of light schedule do you run? I have a 24 inch deep tank and my lights hang about 8 inches above the water line. I am not sure if color levels make a difference with coral health and growth. I was under the impression it was more for looks because the light is always running a full spectrum. Please post ur schedules im curious where everyone is having success.
 
bro, most ideal programs are going to roughly 12 hour light cycle and shaped similar to a bell curve. The color isn't going to make much difference on the Kessil. I've found that too much white just causes me to have to clean the glass more. I run low on whites and ramp to about 95% intensity midday and back down. My best advice to you is go easy. Max at 75% to start, then slowly ramp up over a few weeks if needed. Judge it by how happy your corals are.
 
On at 8:30am off at 8:30pm.

Ramp up until noon, then run 85% intensity and 55% color with a random "cloud" here and there, then ramp down from 6 until 8:30pm.
