No I don't have any photos of the sps in question. I can try and get some in then next day or so but it can be really hard to get any that are a good representation of the colour. I can see that I should defiantly trim back the time and create more of an arch as you say.

I have not seen any bleaching on any of my coral. My green birdsnest has over the past few months finally become more of a light green rather than brownish. my yellow monti digita is seemingly fine but my orange digita had its pop and is more muted.

There are others but describing them is not much help without photos. I will try and get some good ones.

How long would you suggest running my photo period. 8hrs total?

Thanks

I run them @ 20K preset with 0% green and 30% white @ 80% intensity for 8hrs per day and 2hrs ramp up time in the morning/evening.

If you corals lighten in color, drop down the intensity. If they darken, increase it.

These are my frags that were grown/colored under Radions. I expect even better coloration once I upgrade to the Pro version.
