LED and my poor Zoas

[deboy69]

I just put in my new tank and everything is doing well except my zoas.
See my signature for tank parameters

I was running 2-400w halides before i put everything in my 180 with AI Sols (3)
Since than my zoas and going down hill.

I started low on my LEDs because thats what i read around 25% about 2-3 weeks ago and have increased them to 45 today. My zoas are starting to melt if not gone. Is it too much light not enought light?

I've never light acclimated zoas. I put em up high from the start

nope no sols but mine are much stronger at 180w lamps x2 over a 75 gallon using 3w leds. I have the blues at 75% and whites at 40% 2:1 blue/white ratio
