So I just switched from a single China led full spectrum 105 watt non dimmable and a 2 lamp t5 to a maxspect razor 300 watt and 4 lamp t5s. I am only running the t5s for 2.5 hours a day during peak time and the maxspect is ramping up to 50% on white and 70% on blue for 5 hours of peak time. My zoas all appear to be stretching and acans are stretching out with no outer rim (if that makes since) should I just wait it out it has only been 4 days now? Also they don't seem to stretch as bad during peak times.

How long is the total photoperiod?

I’d go ahead and increase the time on the t5. Wait a week or two and increase the peak time on the led as well.
 
With and without a meter , it’s how you find the sweet spot.
A little more at a time and watch the coral.
