I've had 2 AI Sols over my tank for a year, mounted perpendicular to the tank. Sunday night I rehung them to be parallel with the tank to improve my coverage. I also cleaned off salt creep (which didn't seem like much). Man are my corals pissed!! All of my zoas are closed, my birdsnest and digis are retracted, 1 of my acans is retracted, trumpet is half closed, torch is retracted, etc. I cut the intensity for the brightest part of the day substantially this morning. I had it running around 55/60/60 at its highest point, and cut it back to 35/40/40 at its highest point, but everything is still closed and pissed off. I didn't think it would impact them as much as it did, particularly those that were already in bright spots (their coverage shouldn't have changed much). What more can I do? I really don't want stuff to die off on me!
