Wow ok, my bad I'm not a know it all reefer like most of you, hence why I'm here asking questions, My tank is a 90, with 2 xr15s, they turn on at 10am and off around 830 peek at 11-7
I would get more light to the system before doing anything else.
The orphek blue bar was added just before I had to take the system down and move.
On my old 80, 48×24×16 I ran 4 gen 5 xr15's. I ran ab+ at 100%.
This will grow anything you want with good color.

Not enough light is the correct assessment. 2 XR15s are not enough for SPS in a 90. They need to be cranked to 100% and watch the corals to see if the start coloring up
 
Nothing but AFR on this tank for over two years. Tank has a lot of flow with 6 powerheads total. Tank is 36x22x22" with two photon 32s running 12 hours cycles. Par is 250-300 on the bottom and 500+ on the top pieces. I don't have any high end pieces but growth and color looks decent to me. I tend to not run as much blue as some do.


PS I have no idea where my trace elements are because I don't do ICP. I use IO purple salt but WCs are small (2g) and not done very often.
