Nanobox Mini Tide new purchase need advice

[crusoe]

Hey guys, just bought this http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/356443-nano-box-mini-tide-for-sale/ from a fellow NR member.

 

I've been running this setup http://www.petsmart.com/fish/aquariums/marineland-10-gallon-biowheel-led-aquarium-kit-zid36-17298/cat-36-catid-300065 since Sept/14.

 

My tank has ~10lbs of live rock, CUC and two clownfish. Didn't buy anything else as the stock lighting on the Marineland is terrible.

 

My question is, what setting should I run at when I first install the new nanobox light? And when should I start cranking the lights up? Just looking for a rough timeline.

 

Thanks!

If you don't have any coral yet, then it really won't matter much. I would just go ahead and run it where you want as you do not have any coral to shock with too much light.

 

There is a thread that people share their settings on if you want an idea of what other people are doing in regards to color temp/intensity.

Good to know! The fish will be ok with the increase in intensity as well?

 

Amazing thread, thanks for that!
