I have a nicrew 100 watt 18 inches above water line on a 18 inch tall 10 gallon tank….I’m running it at 55% blue 0% whites does this seem like enough light for lps? Have lobos acans frogspawn and gonioporas aswell as softies, all my corals are doing decently good but my zoas lower down in the tank and my leather both barely open up tank params are 1.025 salinity 5-10 nitrate calcium 400 mag is 1200-1250. Should I move the corals higher or make the light slowly stronger? Or will they acclimate overtime? They just moved tanks and lights a month ago into this one.

18” is pretty high for a tank that size. Any reason it needs to be that high? I have mixed tank (60g cube) with the same light and I think it’s around 85% white, 85% blue 15% purple, and from memory everything else is off or maybe 5%. It’s probably 8” over the waterline. I’ll check on Monday.
Edited: had settings in a spreadsheet but think this is for a hipo light. I’ll still check nicrew on Monday.
