Sorry about the shrimp Caleb. That's a bummer. But on the bright side, could have lost more right?
Thanks RedSea.
Alright my reef friends I have a question I haven't been able to solve myself.
How can I find the right amount of light for my tank?
Right now I'm running about 25% of both white and blue.
I want to maximize my lighting without creating an algae explosion.

Tank is doing well. Need to prep for water change on Sunday.
Also seeing some GSA on the heater and glass. Indefinitely related to my lighting.

I feel you there
Well I have learned a valuable lesson. Don't play with lighting you don't understand let's say I spent an hour cleaning off all the purple cyano on my glass, substrate, rocks, everything.
Lesson learned, tank doesn't not need more light yet.

I would try raising it slowly. Maybe 5% a week and keep an eye on everything. You may also want to try keeping the actinics a little higher than the whites to see if you like the look of it better. I prefer more blues to whites, but its about your preference.It's good Paul I do as well
