Not happy zoa's? Loosing color?

Trying to get my zoa's happy!

Looking sad and droopy don't know if it's too much light not enough light. Not enough flow too much flow? What causes them to kind of fold back on themselves a bit?

What lighting are you using and what are your phosphate levels?

Phosphates are about .15 (hard to tell color chart) and lighting using AquaKnight A029

I know when phosphates get higher for me (.1 or more) zoas don’t dig it and can close up. The color issue is probably a combination of higher phosphates and the lower par output of your light. Have you tested par where the zoas are?

No unfortunately I don't know what the par is I watched YouTube video and blues full spectrum does roughly 200 at top center and 100 bottom center so on side probably around 50-100ish

Don't have a final set up yet to spend money on par meter.
