Mine seemed to be doing better at this level too ... I was trying to increase by 5% every week or two as everything acclimated ... but it seems as though I've hit my max. This week everything looks a little more pale in coloration.

I think its time to back off to about 60% again

I run LED's on 3 tanks right now.

3 Radion Gen 2 - 90% - 19" deep tank. Mostly SPS, some SPS, and even a couple softies. SPS doing great. Hope to raise it to 100% soon.

3 Radion Gen 1 - 50% - 24" deep tank. LPS and softies. Seems to be plenty for these corals.

1 Radion Gen 1 - 20% - QT/frag tank.

I use the Natural Mode on all my lights, which follows the sun to a short rounded peak time as per above.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
