Not a monti but a lepto, reminds me of the growth pattern, so much brighter yellow in person

Nice! I like that a lot. What power do you run yours at and how much color?

100% power for 6-7 hours, color ramps to 25%, then to 40% at the highest. My profiles are a little more complicated than the average bear

Wow that's crazy mine maxes out at 45% power. I'm trying not to touch the settings to see if all of my coral look good because I'm just starting to learn how to dose.

I backed off to 70% and my corals, especially my green Acropora, began to suffer. I only have three Kessils on my 125 gallon tank right now. I supplement with T5s, but plan to add more in the future.

Cool thanks. I have two Millies that kinda have color but pretty brown so I think I may turn up the power but I want to have stable water first.
