Changed light- some isn't opens

[Jakef150]

My tank - biocube 29 17" deep.

Duncan, some zoa and denerdo aren't really opening after change from PC light plus reef rite to AI SOL blue..

AI sol is 14" above water level.

I set 30 w 35 bl 35 ry

Too much light ?

Thanks
Jake

Did you use netting over the tank, cut the photoperiod, raise the light higher, or do anything along those lines to acclimate the corals to the new light? That new fixture's about 3-600% stronger than your old light, if you just swapped them and left everything else the same you're going to end up with a lot of bleached or dead corals...

I wouldn't trust the percentages on the whites and blues as far as what they say on the light, those things can really pack a punch even at lower levels when compared to pc's, might want to turn them down even lower until your corals start looking ok again.

OK,

I had this feeling theres not enough white light in there so i reduced Royal blue set and increase white set and its starting get better, showing slow opening now...

my light was 12-14K w/ PC and reefbrite so, i adjusted the light- before its look like 18-20 and i reduced to look like 14K now..

Hope it works
