Hey all!

I have a 65 gallon deep tank that is hung 11” from my tank. I have a RBTA that’s at the top of the tank after roaming for a few days after introduction, a Kenya tree on the sand bed, a GSP near the bottom, two rock nems near the upper/mid of tank, and some Zoas all on different levels. Everything is open and colored well. My only concern is that the RBTA has only been in my tank for a little over a week and seems to be bleached. It was very pale when I got it but now it seems almost translucent except for a tan base and pink tips. My lights are currently at 50 blue and 20 white. I haven’t had these lights but about a month so I really need to find a good setting for them. I have been playing with them but can’t find the right ratio. The blues run from 7:30am to 10pm and whites run from 9:00am to 10pm.
The first pic is the RBTA in her tank, second is it this morning, and third is my tank.

Only run the whites for 5 hrs a day at 5%, the rest of the time blue only 10hrs to 12hrs. 50% should be fine. hanging at 18in is best for spectrum and spread on these if possible.
