Down below is a before and after I drastically changed the percentage of Blues in my tank. I mean these pictures are a few days apart.
First picture is around 80% before I changed them and the second picture is around 30% of blue light hitting the zoas for a few days.
It’s night and day difference!
Thanks for checking it out :)

When you lowered the blues, did you adjust the overall PAR to match the previous levels? The second picture just looks like they are opening more to gather more light. Like the overall lighting level dropped.
