Issues with LPS and Ocean Revive LEDs?

[zachfishman]

Recently I upgraded a 250 gallon (7'x2'x2.5') mostly softie reef from 3x250w halides (8" off the water) to four Ocean Revive Arctic-t247 fixtures (6' off the water). Everything has adjusted except the LPS. One hammer coral showed continued tissue recession over several weeks until I moved it to another tank, a different hammer is doing ok but not growing great, and a frogspawn at the bottom of the tank is very slowly withering away. I run the fixtures at 10% blue 50% white and most corals in the tank are still slightly bleached.

Anybody else keep LPS under Ocean Revive LEDs? Have you had success?

I think you have it backwards, you want more blue than white.
I found that light to be quite bright.
Maybe start off with 40% blue, 10% white, work up from there.

Am I bleaching corals with the white channel? Even at 10% blue to 50% white these lights are already much bluer than the halides that it used to have.

I agree with more blue less white on these. I have seen these on a couple of tanks and everything looked great.

Maybe you're just not used to the blue of led's?

I sold the tank that I had the light on, so I can't exactly remember what my settings were.
Pretty sure whites were no higher than 15%.
Blues, maybe 50%?
I do remember that corals looked really good under the light and grew well.
Dug this picture up. It was to show the cover I made, but its all I can find.

Over 20-30% white LED's will destroy your LPS. I'd keep them at 0% and the blues at 60-80% (LPS can handle A LOT of blue) until they heal, then very, very slowly turn your whites up to around 15-20% if it looks like the corals can handle it.
