Good morning All, looking for guidance on placement of my corals or light adjustments. I have (6) 80w t5 (1) 50/50 60" reef Brite on 180gal. I have plating monipora placed currently towards top of rocks, I keep my trumpets, blasto, zoas, hammer towards lower section (not on sand because of my goby). With this being said I had a problem with the monti not doing well so I had lengthen some of my light times and it seamed to grow and was happy/is happy. But my lower light corals are not doing well anymore which they were all growing good until I adjust lights . How can I fix this problem. Thank you
 
I currently have a mixed reef tank with a T5/led hybrid, I currently have acros on top and blastos on the sand and outside. I took part measurements so I knew where to place lower par corals. Eventually, most corals, within reason will adapt. They may color shift, most acans will shift to red due to the higher par, but they do adapt. I have torches in areas of 200 par and they have adapted. I try to keep corals like acans and blastos on the outside of the take were the par is lower.
