I got my first couple hammers and I’m blown away at how picky these coral are about lighting. At the LFS they were running 130-150 - looked like mostly blues.
I’m running 180ish, with blue/light blue at 60% , violet and green at 45%, white at 30%, red at 15%. They absolutely hated it.
I had to tone the white down to 5% and violet and green to 10% and red to 5% just to get them to open. Now I’m slowly ramping light up as my other coral are now unhappy… I’m at 60% blue/light blue, 8% white, 15% green, 10% violet, and 5% red.. attempted to raise violet up to 20% and BAM instant closure.
Today I’m ramping everything up again and going to the office so I can’t watch the coral complain… is this normal?!
