Thanks for the input. I agree they are probably too high or too low I just don't know which. If its too low I would be disappounted that I don't get enough power out of 42 LEDs. 1/3 white, 1/3 blue, 1/3 royal blue basicaly. I can cpntrol the whites seperate from the blues, and royal blues. When I started I had 24 total leds and I worked the settings up from likw 20% on each to where they sit now at 99% blue and 80% white. My goal was too go nice and slow but when things started to strugle I strated to go faster thinking there wasn't enough light and now Im confused Some of the colonies are well encrusted and cant really be moved so that isn't an option w/ all of them but a few I can move around a little. I really can't go higher though b/c the sps are all at the top of my reef.

My gut would say leave the lights on one setting and move the SPS up towards the light if possible.
Can you separately control the whites and blues? If so maybe dial the whites down and see if there is any improvement.
