I went ahead and dropped total brightness down to 82%. That put the PAR numbers all ~25-30% higher than original. I will see what response that gets and then go up from there hopefully. The whole reason i want to go up is from the reading I have been doing on PAR values around some of the SPS I'd like to keep.

Things were looking pretty good before. Every time I tweak my mitras I bleach coral so I don't change it anymore. Good luck

How much would you tweak the brightness and still see bleaching? I wonder if I went too much even raising the PAR 25%?

I know I might be a little paranoid but is this an egg string?

I loaded up my 82% brightness file to a shared dropbox folder.

This project runs around 400 Par at the waters surface with the Mitras 6100HV (9.5" above water surface, High Efficiency Mode (set at 100%)). The colour temp is around 14K at the noon peak and dips to ~21K morning and evening.
