Default SPS and LED intensity

Curious to hear what people are running their LED fixtures output at to achieve the bright colors out of SPS's. My tank is 5 months old and has about a dozen mini colonies. I have a Photon 32V2 fixture that's been running at 30% for 5 months and have recently been increased to 50%. It's too soon to tell but I am sure with the increase the growth and color should improve. What output is everyone running for SPS?

The Photon 32V2 full spectrum is equivalent to 2 x 250W Metal halide and is hanging 10" above water.

6am - 11am - blues @15%
11am - 5pm - all colors @ 50%
5pm - 9pm - blues @ 15%
