LED time/color ??

[miesenjr]

Process started to add coral to my FOWLR tank. Added a few "easy" corals. I have installed 3 120watt dimable "full spectrum" lights. I can't figure out the timing and color thing out. I'm concerned about bleaching the coral out.
I added a Green slimer, a meteor and a purple stylo coral along with some zoos, and shrooms.
The tank is about 30" deep,
Currently running the blue lights about 13 hrs running about 3/4 power.
I have yet to set the timers for the whites.
How long for the whites/ color?

Thanks!

My tank is not actually upside down

Do you have optics on these LED's? I would run the whites at 30% or so to start out. The corals definitely need some white going though. You can start them off with 4-5 hours a day mid day and then adjust from there in small amounts. I wouldn't exceed half of your full cycle though.

Yes they do have optics, but appreciate the advice, ill start out with that as a guide line.
