Generally when they stretch, they are seeking additional lighting. Increase white in 3% increments daily until they look happy

What are nitrate/phosphate levels ? They also benefit a small dose of iodide on the occasion. Do you have any small pests like hydriods,flat worms or anything of that nature ?

But to answer the original question is a few bumps in % each week,maybe 3-5% every week or 2 will eventually stop it.

I don’t have an answer for the nitrate/phosphate yet, I will test them tonight. Only pests are vermaited snails.

just odd how they were doing good and then suddenly close up.
