Mars Aqua tuning

Hi everyone.

I'm kinda new to the hobby and have a question regarding my Mars Aqua leds.
Just wanted to know what settings is everyone keeping these lights on?
I'm currently keeping my 300wt Mars approx 12" from the water, 60% actinic and 30% whites. My tank is a 50gl, 20"high.
I would like to hear from people who has had them for a while and who's corals are thriving.

Thanks
Steve

I have the Mars Aqua 165 about 12.5 inches off the water with blues at 100% and whites at about 40%. I've also taken off the lenses....too focused for an 18 inch deep tank. The Mars Aqua is the one in the middle.
