I've done two things recently even tho you're only supposed to make one change at a time.
- raised the lights a bit each day so the wife doesn't notice. initially she said the light bleed to her spot on the couch was a problem but i did this a while ago without her noticing. now i'm probably 8 or 9 inches off the water and plan to eventually hit 12" or so.
- dropped both my cool white and neutral white by a lot. trying a more blue spectrum to see how things react. i reduced their output a lot while also turning the overall power from 60% to 100%. my tank looks a bit brighter but the corals are probably getting the same or a little less light than before (higher up, less white more blue).
so far so good. my tank was crazy pale and i had a few sps start to go which has never happened to me before.
as i mentioned last night tho tony i've also started feeding heavier too.
