I have some purple acro's in my 75g tank (BB, tunze wavebox, 2x6100 and 7095 controller) that are about mid level that are sort of browning/fading on the tops, but are vibrant purple on the undersides, does this mean I have too much light??

My lights are a Tek-5 fixture with 3xAquaBlue Plus and 3xUVL Super Actinic.

Thanks

This is my purple. It looks jus as described above. The purple on top isn't as vibriant as the bottom. The piece in water is sitting 4 inches directly under a 10000k, 250W BLV. The light source is 7" higher than the water.

I'm thinking it is too much light is this case, and the same for raynist's.

The tank is a 46G, BB, 2 streams on the ends.
