% light intensity for new tank

[Johnny M]

I'm cycling a BC 32g reef with nanobox retro kit. Once cycled I'm thinking of starting with a few Zoas & mushrooms.  I'm looking at the preset on the Bluefish control app, "mixed reef", But i think the intensity is too much for beginning. Should I use a preset at all or adjust manually : blues, violet, cyan - 45% ; white/lime - 25%  ?  How much ramp time up/down, moonlight, and how long ( hours ) for daytime?  Also placement - start out with corals on sand bottom? TIA

Use the new presets. Mixed reef will work perfect of your tank.
