Im also open to suggetions as to what i should set my percentages to, given my tank inhabitants

Not really the same, but....

i have the blues in my vega at 65% max with a 4 hour ramp. i've seen threads where ppl say 50 tops, and others where users have them up to 80. best response ive seen is start low and add 5% a week until u find somthing that works for u

I ran mine way too high of intensity.
I thought the LEDs looked too dim switching over from MH. I bleached out all of my corals and it took several months to recover.
Start out at around 35% and slowly ramp up a max of 5% a week until you find your sweet spot.
I ran my AI blues at:
RB 100%
B 100%
W 65%
I no longer run the Sols and have Hydra 52 now. My tank is a mixed reef

I run my sols at 48% for all 3 colours, 2 hr ramp up and down with approx 10 hr total. I have a shallow 18" tank, mostly SPS and some LPS and softies on the sand. It does not sound very much but I am regularly trimming my SPS so I think I get decent growth at these levels.

I ran mine at 100% for the most part, turned the white to 95% just to add more blue after a while

One of my clients has a 90-gallon reef with 2 AI Sols. They are mounted the long way if you know what I mean, and they are about 12" off the water surface. The tank isn't heavily packed with corals, but there are a fair number, all pretty good sized colonies. A few Zoa/Paly types, a few Frog/Hammer/Torch, a couple Bubble Tip anemones, a huge ORA Green Birdnest colony that grows like a weed, a blue and pink Mille colony, a couple clams. The tank looks really good and has nice color on all corals.

White 32%
Blue 65%
Royal Blue 65%

13 hour total lighting, 2 hour ramp.

These settings have been running for about 8 months.
