High light, lower nutrients. Lower light, higher nutrients for acropora.

Hi everyone. About a month ago I lowered the percentage of my white LEDs + raised the fixture (ATI Powermodule) and haven’t been achieving the same growth as when I was running all LEDs at 100% 4” above the tank with undetectable nutrients.
I came across a video of Chris Meckley at ACI Aquaculture stating this and wondered has anyone had the same experience?

For me its the opposite. High light high nutrients, low light low nutrients
 

Form or function: Do you consider your rock work to be art or the platform for your coral?
