Hi

I was just wondering what is the purpose of the nite % function in the controller for? I have everything set to 0% so not sure if I am doing it right.

Secondly, I have 2 hydras. What is the benefit of having uv, red, green and very deep blue colors? I am planning to keep sps so wondering what should is the recommended intensities

The night % has to do with the moon phase. The higher (under 10%) them the brighter it will be depending on the moon phase.

The different colors are to get the maximum spectrum of light possible to grow and bring out each color of the coral. You will have to adjust to ur corals liking. Start with acclamation feature and adjust accordingly.
