Hello,

I been growing frags on the 2 sides of my tank. I’m wondering if I have them to high? The seems to lose color compared to the colony’s.

I keep mostly sps or monti frags

I circled the location with the two magnets that you can see.

Any ideas? Thanks

I keep mine about 1/4 and 1/2 way down. Higher light stuff on the 1/4 and lower on the 1/2. The racks don’t get as much light as the colonies with my light, but yours looks like it covers the whole tank so you might be good just setting them both 1/2
 
If you take par reading in the whole tank, I have found that at the top around the edges is a lower par than where the corals are positioned in the tank
 
Set it lower. anywhere around 1/2 way up the side to maybe 3/4 of the way up. I set mine at 1/2 way.

thanks Ron. How have you been? Hope all is well
