Blues (of any type) 70-100%
Whites (of any type) 30-50%
UV 10% max
Green 10-15%
Red 5% or less
Purple Around 40%

It's kinda hard to correlate these to your though since I have no idea what the comparative output is.
Thanks for your info, the retrofit kit seems close to the outputs of the AI's I had on my 90 G, I am running my Blues @ 70% and my whites at 40% right now and may ramp up a few % on both and see how the corals do using that method. Thanks for the help.
