Maxspect Razor Nano 60w Presets

I purchased a Razor nano but don't which lighting setting to use for a reef. There are two presets and a custom mode. Any suggestions?

What was your previous lighting and what size tank/corals do you have?

Don't use either of the presets... I would make a custom schedule that ramps no higher than 30% on whites to start off with. Depending on your previous fixture I can give you a better idea for the blues. The leds are seriously strong even when they look dim to the eye... make sure you light acclimate

Well then I would do something like this
B W
8:00 0 0
11:00 35 10
2:00 50 30
5:00 35 10
8:00 0 0

To start off with... since you are just cycling. As you add coral, you can slowly push the blues up by 5% each week until you are peaking at 75% which IMO is enough for almost all but the most light demanding coral in that tank. I run my Razor so that it peaks at 50W 75B but I took about a month ramping up to this from the numbers above after I added coral
