Maybe 75% is too much I have a friend who had the same problem. Maybe reduce intensity

I ran a sol on my 60 cube. Never ramped up more than 50% jist reduce everything by 10% and see how that does for you

blues 100 % whites no higher than 45% how high is the light off the water?

 

[Adrock]

two to three hour ramp time

What adrock said... extend ramp time... 2hrs.. lower intensity esp whites

 

[Adrock]

make your changes 5 to 10 % a week til you reach the parameters I said and how high is the light above the water

i learned from the best thx Kyle!!!!

 

[Adrock]

I appreciate the knowledge you share with me

Did you set individual ramp times for each time period?.. usually people just have a sunrise and sunset with the rest of the time being at its max setting...

As for reducing intensity I haven't seen a negative influence in lowering the light more quickly...its usually the increase you need to be careful with

its 8 inches above the water

make your changes 5 to 10 % a week til you reach the parameters I said and how high is the light above the water

 

[Adrock]

if possible i would raise it 15 to 18 inches, 12 min above the water

yes each one has different ramp time, Kyle do you have a time schedule with you? tank height is 20inches and lighs are 8 inches from water, thanks for the reply

How long have you had your lights? Did you switch from t5s or halides? Your coral might need time to acclimate to the light

 

[smartchoice]

the corals came from two diffrent tanks that i have one of the tanks are with T5 and the other with halides

Give us some more info. What type of corals are they? Raise the light and lower the intensity. A lot of corals have issues going from t5 or mh to LEDs.

Yep just what I was thinking. Might have shocked them with led light. Start the new ones low and slowly move them up over time. Im assuming you're talking about sps?
