What settings do you have for your SPS?

Hi there,

I have a lovely TIDE controlled by a Storm on my 20 G IM tank. I'm starting to get into SPS and wanting to know what works best for SPS under this light.

Thanks for your help!

Whatever you have it set to will work best for SPS (and all other corals) so long as you have acclimated them to the light properly and are giving enough intensity. Anything else (such as color) is completely up to you, 100% personal preference. :)

What type of SPS are you looking into? If this is your first start with something a little easier. Montis, birds nest, pocci. Keep them more focused in the middle and see how it goes. How old is the tank as well?

Well, that's what I'm worried about - I don't know if I'm giving them enough intensity. I just put my settings at what Dave's recommendations are in the Storm Module he posted :)

I know I'm biased, but this must be the most beautiful fish on Earth. I love them!

not my first:) I had a 75 g for a year and upgrading to a 120g. I had many SP's under t5..just first time under LEDs so a bit worried about them lacking intensity.
