I'm guessing I'm going to have to up it...all I have are zoa's which seem happy but time will tell if they grow and a mushroom that blew up and detached some heads ..although they are easy to keep happy.

I had my zoas and mushrooms under that type of light with 50 blues and 25 whites they grew pretty fast

Do you think the whites are beneficial? My zoa's react better to the blue. People like Jason Fox, run only blue on there tanks.

At some extent, if you over do the whites you can get algae blooms.

I just upgraded my Biocube 29 to an SBreeflights box. And I'm trying to figure out might lighting percentage as well haha. How many hours are yall running your lights at these numbers? Currently I am at 10 and I am wondering if I should be at 12. My lights don't ramp up and down so I didn't know if 12 would be too much.

It was around 4 months, the lights didn't have any branding.

You can do a couple of hours of just blues, then 8 hrs of full lights and then a couple more of blues
