Paly & Zoa question

Lighting: Steve'sLED in a Biocube 29

I have these palys that did not have long body/stems, but over time, they started becoming long that you can see in the picture.

Also, my captain america paly never opens up properly, its weird... it did fall off my frag rack a couple weeks ago, about 5-8 inchs high, but i cant imagine that would cause it to look weird.

Any help?

Adding more pictures

Maybe just stretching for a little more light. I wouldn't be highly concerned.

I'd turn up your leds, they ate stretching for light.

Yep, need more light. Seems like the water flow is enough by the pics.

THANKS GRANDIS!

My waterflow is driven by 30-50% by MP10 with a Maxijet 1200 in the biocube. Its got really nice movements.

The light is by Steveled's 29 Biocube that has 28 3W LEDs which i have set 70% on the neutral whites and 90% on the blues.

It was set at 50% and over the last week I have increased it by 5%... should I go any higher?

Oh no, go slow with the LEDs.
Just take your time and if you decide go with higher intensity do like 5% a week, so the polyps can adjust properly.
Sloooow...
