Maxspect R420R Settings, Need Help!

Hey everyone, I tried sifting through all the old threads but couldn't find anything specific to my set up.

I need advice on the settings for my Razor LED light. The tank is a mixed reef, still in the early stages. It has just cycled, so far the coral I have is a few strands of Xenia, a 4 head green Candy Cane, a green Mushroom, and a few Zoas. For fish, I have a Watchman Goby, and a Hawkfish.

44 Gallon tank (mixed reef)
31x16x20
R420R 160w (not sure what generation because I got it used, but I upgraded to the 120 degree white lenses)

I like/want moonlight, don't really need it on past midnight.

Heres my current settings:

1 - 0600 0/0
2 - 0900 30/50
3 - 1200 60/80
4 - 1500 100/100
5 - 1900 50/70
6 - 2100 0/1

Thanks in advance

Those settings are way to high! Mine never get above 60% at the peak. I would do:
1) 0100 0/0
2) 1000 10/20
3) 1300 20/35
4) 1600 30/45
5) 1900 40/55
6) 2200 0/1

I think I had something like this at one time. As time goes you can move them up or down a bit but unless your hanging it 12 inch above the tank you will shouldn't need to be above 60% its easier to kill corals with too much led intensity than too little.

I think I'll adjust them. Not quite that low, but not 100%.

anyone else?
