Hey everyone, I recently acquired a kessil a80 about a month ago and upgraded from the 14 biocube factory compact fluorescents. A lot of my montiporas and one acro near the top of my tank have bleached. The light is about 5"above the tank and was wondering if anyone had % recommendations for % of blue to white and % intensity maybe amount of time you have lights on? I moved bleaching corals lower, but would still love some input. I've also had a couple astreas and hermits die... Not sure if related.
My known levels are:
Nitrates 10 (just added denitrate media yesterday)
Phosphates 0.1
KH 7.5
Alkalinity 480
Salinity 1.025
Magnesium 1440
Temp 76
I've been running lights at 90% intensity and 60% white for about 8 hrs a day
