Upgrading my lighting to Radion for my Biocube 29. Can you recommend a safe starting and ending intensity for my corals?

I run two on my 2ftx2ft shallow cube, massive overkill really but I wanted the extra PAR for acropora...

Photo is from the initial startup, at the moment I have:

 

Torch 

Hammer

Chalice

Zoas

Blastomussa

Acans

Lobophylia

Acoropora

Birdsnest

Goniopora

Pocillopora

Star polyps

Blue sympodium

 

Think that's about it, I also have a Squamosa clam which relies heavily on lighting to survive. This is the program I run...

I'm getting good growth from all corals at this point so I'd say the intensity I have it at is ok for now, that is obviously with two units though and not one...

Thanks so much and beautiful tank! I plan to just drill through the Biocube hood and put it on. Because it will be lower to the water do you think it would be safe to to start at 25% and work up to 45% over 3 weeks and see how things look? Or start 35% and work up to 55%? Worried about over doing it, but don’t want to under do it either.

Played around with different settings and intensities. I chose the coral lab soft coral template. Changed the colour for a slightly brighter look. Decided to start at 35% and use acclimation mode to 50% over 4 weeks.
