Tank is LPS, Softies, and Nems. I've read a lot people say to not run color over 50%


1000- 0% Color 10% Intensity

1300- 30% 35%

1500- 35% 45%

1700- 35% 45%

1900- 30% 35%

2200- 0% 0%

I'm now running my Kessil at 85% intensity and 25% color

How long have u had it set to 85i? Noticeable changes good or bad?
Here is my current schedule. I wasn't seeing any growth with the previous schedule. I've been running this schedule about a year and half. All my LPS and Zoas have been growing great. It probably took me a month and half to get to this intensity from the original 45%

12pm 0 color - 5% intensity
1pm 0 color - 80%
3pm 25 color - 85%
7pm 25 color - 85%
9pm 0 color - 80%
10pm 0 color - 0 intensity

I think, so I've been running it for several years. You can try bumping up the 3pm-7pm peak 5% every two weeks until you see a negative response. I'm actually up to 95% now from 3pm-7pm for my peak.
