I've got the whites at 90%, and each of the blues at 85%. The bottom of the fixtures are 15" above the water. I started to notice these issues while the lights were at low intensity... I've been hoping that there wasn't enough light and once they ramped up these problems would go away. No such luck. I should also mention that I got the angel at around the same time as the lights... so that doesn't really help for troubleshooting.

I had mentioned earlier... they are dying via STN and some have burnt /damaged tips. It's really frustrating to have the frags doing/looking so good, and the important stuff (display) looking like crap. I've even taken a few pieces out of the display and put them into the frag tank and they look like they are healing already.
