Thoughts on this?

I have a lot of meaty LPS coral, brains, donuts, scolys, trachys,ect. So the lights come on at about 1 PM and they open big and full, look great but every night at about 7 pm they start to shrink. Like something is triggering them to recede and I can't figure out what. I've tested Alk and its pretty steady at 7.8. Could my lights be too strong and after being under them for 6 hours the corals are getting angry? My sps are all fine, my torches and hammer coral all stay the same, its just the big meaty LPS...
 
Is there any piece of equipment that goes on around that time that could possibly be causing stray voltage?
 
Are the lights the same color and intensity from 1-7?
 
Nothing turns on in the tank at 7 so I don't think its voltage and yes the lights are the same.
