Do you have a PAR meter? Curious what PAR you have this under. I have a frag in my tank for just over a week.... definitely seeing some red! Under RB LED they are really starting to come out. I've got it under ~300

This is a crappy Iphone pic and I've only had this for about a week, but it is blue and it does have red polyps. Color is progressing well. I will update in a little while with better camera once it settles in and colors up some more.

I have an old ati powermodule 8 bulb over a standard 6 foot 125 gallon. I have 2 coral plus, 2 actinic, 1 purple+, and 3 blue+. I run the 6 bulbs for 9 hours and then run the coral+ plus the other 6 bulbs for 4 hours middle of light cycle. I messed with higher par 400+ and none of my sps could handle it. Raised light fixture now 200 300 par and everything is bouncing back color wise and growth wise. Do you have a par meter? What par numbers you getting? I have an apogee par meter. What size tank do you have?

No I don't have a par meter , I'm not sure of the fixture name but it's 4 bulb 39watts, over a 46 gallon bowfront
