Water chemistry and stability really. I can't say much more without getting in trouble for being off topic.

Also, SPS love light. LOVE. I run my 6 AI's at 100/100/95 and they just suck it up. But ya, light is only part of the recipe. Water quality, tank maturity, flow, black magic and touch of voodoo.

Pretty sure I run all channels at 95% for 7 hours. About a 1 hour ramp up, and 1 hour cooldown to the moonlights, then moonlights for 2-3 hours.

Starting at 6:00 am, I gradually ramp up to 100% on all channels for about 3 hours per day. At around 10:00 pm the lights are off and the fishies tucked in and sleeping.
I just recently started keeping SPS, around 3 months ago and getting lots of growth but I am not happy with the color of a monti. The LPS and softies are also doing great.

At my peak, I am running

R: 20%
G: 23%
B: 65%
P: 55%
W: 35%
UV: 10%

How high should I have it and how long should the peak be during the day?
