I would say yes that is most likely your issue......With t5 I i would run the radion at 40-50% max. The radion at 60% 10'' from the water is alot of light. hth
That's what she said. Sorry I could not resist! :/
I recently turned my radions up to 75 percent (10 inches off the waterline) and started to notice some random bleaching and little polyp extension. I also run two t5s, so I decided to turn the LEDs down to 60 percent and hopefully things get better. I hope this was the cause!
Interesting. Looks like he really blasts the whites. I wonder what's up with the constant cloud cover? Looks like his uv is below 50% as well.
[MENTION=844]JOSE CASAS[/MENTION] is this similar to yours?
Looks good emac! I ran i very similar schedule when i first got the radion but had to modify it due to the fact that i wanted a longer photo period. Also wanted more blue than white look.
how high off the water are your lights i know there pretty high but do you know the distance ? And like they said what are you running all the channels at ? since the different colors seem to be at different percentages.
I'll start at 50%, I was running 100% before the t5s and nothing bleached, but that extra light musta shocked everyone. I'll go 50% and crank up if need be.

I run everything at 100% while I'm at work. Then I ramp them drown so by the time I get home the tank is at around 20k. So while I'm away they grow and color up while I'm home
