im kind of lost on what to do i looked at what grim reefer says to do but im kind of lost for my situation my tank is 12.5 deep and 13.5 tall (really shallow) my rock is more centerized and my sps stays on the top middle with the way my lights set up right now im bleaching alot of the corals it could be that i have newer bulbs in but its just in the middle section

any help on what you think would be great

I think he expects the coral to be centered. That's why the whites and pink and in the center. Then the blues on the outside to add color. Hope that helps.

i was just thinking that whites would be on the outside since they have more par and can penetrate lower and the blues centered would give the coral more color being in the center .... ahh the light crap is annoying

Then you would be selling yourself short on par ; ) Remember bluer bulbs fade quicker too.

why don't you just raise the lights? It will make the spread better...

Whoops, I didn't see that you were burning coral. Aren't you coming from a deeper tank?

From what I've read from Grim, is white/blue blues are similiar in par.(untill you get down the the 3-6k) So I agree with everyone else on raising the light, then slowly drop it back down if you want.

i cant really raise them .... i guess i should buy some screening or is it even worth it now ??? i have the lights on the tank for 3 weeks now ??? is the damage done already ?
