It’s not the par that’s the problem. I have an extremely active nutrient export so I keep alk low. So low alk plus low nutrients=torches get roasted if they get too much direct light. Lol
ahhh! I see yeah lots of people say they do better in higher nutrients compared to the ULNS numbers

I dose twice the recommended amount of AB+ And reef chili and reef roids daily! Plus over feeding my spoiled tang so he stops stealing acro slime! And still hover around .5 to 2 ppm n03 and still dose po4 daily so it doesn’t completely bottom out lol.

oh wow, yeah you really are managing those nutrients daily then. I run my dkh at 11 so I had to figure out how to manage my export better. My acros melt if there aren't enough available nutrients at those levels.
