I have my lights 12" AWL and do the sunrise to sunset program to simulate a normal day maximum of 80% blue 85% Royal blue 65% white @ 3pm this works pretty good and everyone seems happy. I have LPS, mushrooms & zoes mostly
This picture shows the lights @ 12" AWL as suggested by AI hanging guide, seems to work well so far.

This is about 11am.

This is about 4pm.I still find myself tweeking though, I guess because I can and so easy.
