Hey guys. How many watts are you running your H52HDs at and roughly how much par?

A buddy of mine did some readings for me with his PAR meter and I've been slowly bumping up to a higher wattage. I'm using the BRS AB+ H52HD settings at 68W but I still can't get my Red/Burgundy digitata to grow.

Polyps are out. I noticed they aren't as big and fluffy like the green digis. Monti caps are growing fine with No3 at 5-10, PO4 at 0.02-3, Alk at 8.5-9 and Calc at 460. It used to grow but has now just stalled for months.

Tank is 18 high with 15" waterline. Digi is at about 11" up, just outside of the hotspot. Any ideas why this ******* won't grow? I really want to do Digis as my sticks as I love Montis.
