Hi I recently got some new corals and I’m wondering about best way to light them. If anyone else uses the programmable lights can you look at my schedule below and see if that looks like the right light spectrum? I have a Xenia, GSP, Nepthea? I think, Yellow Candy Cane, Mushroom (not sure what kind) and some super tiny Zoas? that aren’t opening. I will attach pics. Tank params normal. I did increase temp from 76.5 to 77 as I thought maybe was a little cool for them. Thanks for any and all input.

If just changing the temp give it 2 weeks or so before changing anything else. Other than that let the inhabitants tell the story. I have a gradual ramp up/down with about 4 hours peak lighting and around 10 or 12 hours of them being on. Flow and position could be the culprit rather than lighting. Change 1 thing and give it 2 or 3 weeks before changing anything else.
