Red Sea Max 260E and AI Hydra 26

I'm having a very difficult time adjusting to LED's. No I don't have a par meter. I have an LPS only tank. Can people tell me what they're settings are for they're LPS/LPS dominant reef tanks?

I have both the 260E and 170E. Setting the lights has been a headache. On page 3 of the Red Sea manual shows light levels suggested for a "reef Spec" setting.

UV 118
Vio 118
Royal 140
Blue 116
Green 0
Red 0
White 60 I have my white at around 20%

With these colors the light appears a little blue, but that's the spectrum that penetrates deep water. For some reason the lights went to 100% for more then a week during a vacation. My xenia went from violet to white in that time. I adjusted the lights back to my original setting and in a few weeks the color came back.
