Quick AI Prime 16 question for a new reef tank.

No corals yet — just copepods and clean-up crew.

I’m trying to keep the light low to avoid algae, but still make the tank look good.

Thinking:

RB 25 / B 25 / W 5

Everything else 0

5–6 hours/day

Light about 9–11” above the water

Is this a good starting point, or would you run it differently?
