What are 700+nm bulbs? Your actinics are really taking away from PAR. Actinics have lower PAR. I would suggest getting some AquaScience or UVL bulbs in there with at least one around 10-15K on your next change out. Instead of actinics use blue bulbs. If that was my fixture I would have 2 Fiji purple, 1 AquaScience 22000K and 1 AS 15000K. The AS bulbs have really high PAR even with the higher Kelvin. What brand are the bulbs you're currently using?
