Wanted to get everyone’s opinion on my lighting schedule. My lights run from 8am to 9pm with a 30min ramp up to a 18k-20k with a par of 450-550 (4hrs peak) on my main rock where my sps are. Then to a blue spectrum for the remainder of the day 400-475 par with a 30 min ramp down. Growth isn’t a problem I’m after color. My color for the most part is descent but I know I can achieve richer/vibrant colors.

Should I increase or decrease par or lengthen or shorten intensity?
