I have a regular 90 gallon tank up and running for a year and a half, housing mostly soft corals, I am unsure if I have too little lighting going on. I am running a 4 bulb T5, with three 24 watt blues and a 10k white along with a Marineland single bright blue/white LED panel. All of the corals are opened well but don't seem to be growing. Should I up the wattage on the bulbs or maybe get different color/types of bulbs besides white and blue. If you need more information on my tank/setup please let me know. Thank you.
 
I would highly recommend using ati bulbs. Keep your 10k bulb then go with 2 blue plus and a coral plus from ati expensive but more par and well worth it. Things will grow once you change to these bulbs I'm guessing.
