Have a MicMol G3 Aqua Mini over a RedSea Nano Reefer. Issue I am having is zoanthids look unhappy with current lighting schedule. Specifically anytime I try to up the Special Channel which includes UV/red/green/warm LEDs. This band seems like it is incredibly strong. Had it up to 35% and after weening I’m down to 10%. Wondering if this band is just not needed for soft coral growth?

Previous setups could never have too much light. Power compacts, VHOs, T5s, even have a 250w MH over a 20g with fantastic results.

I'd go minimal intensity on the special channel.

I think I run like 5% on my Thor X's.
