Lighting ocean revive t247 settings

I have a 40 gallon fusion nuvo AIO tank. What settings should this lights be on? I have both channel 1 and 2 on 35%. Also what the difference in terms of life support of the full spectrum and just blue lights?

I'd guess you'd want to work up to around 50% or a bit more..
I run 2 x S026 lights on my 40 breeder but run them at maybe 30% total power..

In general I find that the coral will come out a bit with the blue lights its really not till the whites turn on that they fully extend,etc... (my blues come on 30 minutes before the whites and go off 30 minutes after the whites).
A full spectrum is better.. and makes it look more natural and not like you just blended up a smurf..

So far, so good... but I only had it for a month. My LFS has the same lights and he's growing frags with them really well.

Great, i would suggest 40% blues and 10% whites then increase weekly by 10% in you have corals in there. You will find a sweet spot where everything is poping in colour and thriving.
