100 blue, 50 white.

White always half of blue if lower intensity desired

28 months this way, but it took six months to get there.
Started at 50 blue 25 white........then up 5% every two weeks.

Nothing bleached, or at least, thus far.

CCB, don't push the same higher par as the main streams like kessel and AI.

I'm 14" off the surface, a little high but these lights diffuse better when a bit higher.
Plus they don't get splash as much.

That's some good info. Mine are about 8" (maybe 10?) off the surface, and I've got the blues on 60% but dropped the whites to the minimum since I've been dealing with GHA lately. Had them 50% to 20% early on.

My Blasto and Torch seem pretty happy either way, but if raising the lights up higher would allow me to turn up the color a bit I'll give that a shot soon.

Corals hate change, if they are doing Ok, I might just leave it.
Every time a change is made, something will be affected.

Long periods of consistent parameters is best.
