I just installed 42 LEDs over my 65g display. Right now its a fowlr but i will be introducing corals very soon. I have 28 XT-E royal blues Nd 14 XP-G warm whites. Right now they are running at 75% from 11-7..sunrise from 10-11 and sunset from 7-8. Should theh be lower?

when you start adding corals, start out with 40% then ramp up 5% each week. That's wat i did on my 120 and the corals seem happy
