As SOL blue settings?

How high above the tank are the lights? The sols really need to be at least a foot over the water line. It sounds like you don't have enough light. On a tank that big you should be able to crank them up higher than that. The 4 over my tank are 100% on the blues and about 85 on the whites I think.

The thing about the sols is they have 2 different lens angles. So immediately under the 40 deg lenses you can have some serious coral bleaching par while just outside of that the par can really drop. If you can't raise the lights try swapping out the 40 deg lenses for all 70 deg.

Have you checked par readings? That would be another good idea. Move corals or adjust light intensity to better suit your tank and lighting.

 

I read your first post wrong, I thought you said you were bleaching when you cranked them up.
I bet they seem dim, they are. Slowly crank them up. I would say you can take it up to 75%+ on the blues. and 50%+ on the whites. You'll probably want to keep it heavier with the blues for some decent color, but to really make a difference IMO it takes lighting that covers more spectrum than the white and blues. Violets, and red and greens in small amounts really make a difference. I added the T5s to my sol blues and like the look much better. Some time I will upgrade to the hydras and vegas to get all the colors in there.

 

The par meter is in CR with me right now Jason, I don't believe there has been any requests to use it, so you're free to come get it once you renew your membership anyway. /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif
