Questions on adding Kessil 360w to RSM 130

Hello all!
My first official thread of many to come lol!.
Ok so here goes....
2 weeks ago I purchased a stock, used, up and running RSM 130.
Has been up and running stocked with about 15lbs of live rock with no coral. (Yet)
Yesterday I picked up a Kessil a360we with spectral controller and goose neck.
This will be my first mod to the tank going "Rimless" and adding the Kessil.

Questions & reason for today's thread:

1) Light placement.
How high above the water should I place.

2) Light schedule for setting the controller.
Color / intensity, hrs per day.

Again this is for a RSM 130 34gal.
I plan on adding more live rock, fish and soft corals only.

Welp, chime in if ya got any suggestions for me.
All help is much appreciated!
Cheers!!

The Kessil will work fine, but I'd consider it a bit of overkill on your size tank. Start it off at a rather low light lever.
