Increase lighting or not?

[gareth.hubbarde]

My leds are currently running at 50 and 60 percent in the day then go down to 10 percent for 3 hours before off completely.
All corals are open and seemingly doing well. Zoas have new babies growing off, mushrooms are nicely open but not spreading yet. Acan is nicely open but no new heads yet.
Is it worth increasing the light, would more light be better or shall I just leave it where it is?

IMO don't mess with it if everything seems fine..
I typically use my own eyes to see if its enough light..
If I think its bright.. Its plenty of light..
If its hurting me in anyway to look at.. Its too much light..
If I think its dim.. Its not enough light..

Hard to tell without a PAR meter. If corals are happy, then I agree it might be best to just leave well enough alone.

How long has the tank been set up?

And I can't speak for others, but acans in my tank are seriously slow to grow. In fact they are about the slowest.

Tank is about 4 months old now.

That's a pretty young tank. And even if you had a mature tank (a year old and stable) with acro frags that have only been in the tank for 4 months, my guess is you'd be lucky to be seeing much if any new growth already. Give it time.
