Just curious, about what percentage do you run white and blue lights? And what do you keep?

I've got a 165 watt fixture over a standard 20 gallon tank and my blues are at 100% and the whites vary between 50-75%. Sometimes I like the tank on the blue side, sometimes on the white. I'm able to keep pretty much anything I want in this tank. (sps, LPS, etc)

I'm running 3 over my 80g tank at 10½" above the waterline at 80% whites 100% blues.

Here's a FTS as of yesterday, mostly leathers/gorgs, some LPS, blue squamosa, and my magnifica anemone.

2 on a 90 gallon tank about 6" above waterline. New setup, intended to be SPS with some LPS. I am currently blue 60% white 40% which rapidly bleached a couple acropora frags (which I did not expect to happen at this setting). I intend to ramp up intensity slowly.

165 watter located 2 inches above a 29 gallon, modified by removing half the lenses to get wider spread. 50% white, 60% blue.

Wow. Compared to others it looks like I'm starving my softies and LPS.

I'm running a 300W Mars at 12in over a 40B. Lenses removed, blues at most 30% and the whites are barely on.
