I ended up changing the power on hours (12PM-6PM) only. Left everything else the same. I just changed channel 3,5 and 6 (the blues) to 60% power during that time. So now I have 6 hours of 60% power from those 3 channels. Was ALOT less before that. Channel 3 was my highest at 55% but only at 12PM. After 12 I started to reduce it down each hours. the other channels where less and reduced the same.
Have a feeling this is a big issue with my coral. Should have though that I just wasn't giving them enough light for long enough. Just always thought I was to high with the power or didn't want to fry everything. Will run this a bit and maybe bump up to 80% in the future, may 80% for 12PM and 1PM then back to 60% until 6PM.
