Reefbreeder photon settings

What settings are you guys running on your reefbreeder photon leds and what are you able to keep with the settings that you are running?

I'm not a huge blue fan all day so I like to run them close to each other channel 1 and 2. On a 75 which I have I started at 40 each channel. I got some advice to turn the blues higher to see if I could bring some color back to my euphyllia. So now I think I max at 60 white 80 blue. I have a dersa clam that grows insane and some acros and months doing well. I wouldn't go as high as I am now I believe I started at 40% then worked up

I kind of like my natural setting. I peak at 40% Blue and 80% White. You still have that tint of blue but its more white and natural looking. I love it! I'm keeping SPS across the board as well as some LPS and Zoas.

I can't remember what exact setting this was... Though clearly it wasn't my peak at 40B 80W lol.

I also use the same setting for whites and blues. I top at about 40% intensity. I am slowly working my way up. I need to find a PAR meter soon...

I've been heavier on the blues (75 - 25) because of a GHA issue. (The white channel has red bulbs which I believe are like candy to GHA). Not that I have an ATS (heavy on red LEDs), I'm planning to gradually reduce blue channel and increase white channel.
