This is my program running my two Kessil A360WEs. My T5s come on from (I have a pair on either side of the LEDs) 11am-6pm.

As you see, color peaks at 50% and intensity peaks at 80%.

What T5’s are you running with them?

Been running 60% color for a year and a half; first year was a mixed tank and now it's SPS dominant (mostly acros with a monti, undata, lepto, and a few other odds and ends). I don't care for it looking any bluer and the corals haven't objected to 60% so that is where it stays (ramps from 0% to 60% for two hours at start up and ramps down two ours at shutdown).

Currently running 2x Giesemann Super Actinic and 2x Giesemann Aquablue Azure... which grow Corals but the Azure bulbs make the tank appear too washed out for my taste. I plan on switching away from those... probably two Blue Plus, one Purple Plus, and an Actinic.

I run a Blue+ and Coral+ with mine and hate the look with them too.

2 360"s on a 4'x18"x20" 75 gallon mixed running 30% color & 75-80% intensity . My scrub pallys a zoas seem not to like the intensity put the fancier ones are exploding and the LPS & SPS are showing progress.
BTW I tried wild yuma's a few times and they all melted, again the designer yuma is good, am I seeing a pattern ?
