Reef Breeders Proton V2+

I just bought the light, and talked with Logan @ RB 3 times all ready who has been extremely helpful.

I have a few questions. I have a 65G tank which is 18" wide, front to back and 24" depth, to sand bed. I have the lights in the middle of the arms which is about 8" off the water. Is that a good place to start or should I go higher?

Also I was told most use custom mode, which ends at 30% intensity.

I like the Blue's I'm assuming to run in the 14k range to 20k range and less whites. I also read turning down the greens/reds helps with the disco effect. I believe I read these should only be ran 4 hours at peak to help with a disco effect.

I'd like to have the max intensity start at 3pm through 7pm since I get off of work around 4pm. So I can view the tank at full light intensity.

What channels are what colors and how can I move the schedule without re-writing the whole schedule to those times? ANd adjust the blue's and whites to my liking?

Anyone have a schedule they can provide that I can tweak?

The tank is just started up and cycled, no coral in yet, just added the first 2 fish in.

Thanks for the help
