I have 3 160's (and T5's) over my 22g nano. I run a 12hr cycle, with a 3hr ramp up, hold peak for 6hrs, then ramp down for 3hrs. I'm only hitting 60% intensity during peak and my color goes from 0% to 25% following the same ramping schedule as the intensity.
I used to run my color higher, but I've found running below 50% brings out more color (in my system).
How old is your tank? How much flow? Parameters stable?
