How about we start by giving us some of your info? Also Light isnt the only thing that determines growth and coloration, tell us a bit about the rest of the setup as well.

What optics? What are your optics?
Height from water? what's your height now?
Light Schedule? What's your schedule? What are your min-max value on the lights? How long is the lights running? You have a 24” light on a 36” L tank how far off the top is it?

Any other tips? A good place read then ask questions on ReefBreeders http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...300577It's not always the lights ,what are your water pramsThank you!
