Ok so used search and couldn’t find the answer. I have a Kessil A360X over my NUVO IM 20 gal peninsula. Looking to do a mixed reef (mostly zoa). I haven’t changed my lights in two years but am not having a ton of luck with coral growth. Also I got a new phone and for some reason none of my stuff saved.

So what settings and schedule should I use? Mounted light at 8” off the water as BRS suggested. I’m happy to take any suggestions on this matter, if I need to mount it lower or higher I can. Any help is GREATLY appreciated, thank you in advance.

Lighting is only one factor with coral growth, chemistry, flow, etc all are tied to a healthy system.
I’ve always used a 12hr photo period with 6-8hrs peak intensity. Just use the Kessil quick set program and modify it to your needs.
Start here but you’ll have to adjust your intensity to your coral’s needs. Using a par meter will help you dial it in.
 

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?
