If you have AI Sols and SPS, please post your highest intensity setting

Ive been running AI Sols for almost a year. They kept every looking pretty good, but I never have gotten the same growth rate with them as I did with 250w Radium halides. I am wondering if I just have never had my LED intensity high enough. I have only gotten up to a peak of about 60-65% during the day. Any time I went higher, things started to pale. But in fairness, I may have jumped up too quickly, and may only need to move 1-2% per week. I feel I would get faster growth if I could get up to 80+% without losing color. What do you go up to and for how long of a duration?

I run mine at almost 100% for ar least 8 hours a day. I have three over a 120g. I also run t5's. Start bumping it up a few notches every week until you reach 100% I know a guy who has a 400g and runs 12 at 100%, if you go slowly your corals will adjust and start getting better growth.

I have 4 AI Sols in my 90 gallon. My peak is 90w 95B 95B 95RB for 1.5 hours. It ramps up 3 hours to get to that point before that and ramps down to my night time settings to 3 hours after, which is 4W 10B 10RB. It took me about a year to get to my current settings. However, my colors are not that great and is a little pale, but I think its due to my low nutrient system.

I run mine from 0%/0%/0% to 95%/100%/100% on a 180min ramp starting at 8am then a ramp down at 5pm to 0%/4%/4% moon active. Corals did pale alittle at first when I got to the current numbers which took about 7 months. Now the color is starting to brighten.

100%W, 85%B, 75% RB for 8 hours of the day. It took a year to build up to that. I have had them for 2 years over a 24" deep 130g. I run them 18" above the water.
