So you can phase right?
Me too. I do the same thing with my timers. I recently lowered my whites from 9 to 7.5 hours and keep the blues on 10. I didn't see any changes in coloration.So mr x if u run my lights at 50 % on a 16 inch deep tank lights 10 inch above my par readings should be half of yours right ? Trying to get my corals the right amount of par

Theoretically, using the fixture as you stated Pete, sounds like it will be around the same, but LEDs are funny. I think they can be more powerful than we think they are. You just have to learn what they like by trial and error.
Yes, these are a bit hard on some LPS. It took me months to acclimate some pieces. A Symphyllia I am keeping never got over the new lights. I'm trying to nurse it in the refugium tank now at about 100% blue and 30% white.
