What are the dimensions of your tank and what types of corals are you keeping?

my current tank is a 17x17x9 mostly sps but i have a 16x16x14 that i will likely set up and transfer all my corals

Are you using optics.

Without proper optics over 1/2 the light is wasted.

The Cree XT-E Royal Blue Binned at 450 NM will give you the Grow and Colour pop. Add Some Binned 7.5K Cool White and maybe a pair of 660nm Red to the mix and you will be happy with the results.

12 3-5 watt LEDs without optics driven at 700-1000mA is not enough.

Better to give your corals a more natural photoperiod and 200 PAR on the sand bed.
