What's up with Duncan under LED's?

    So I really like my new LEDs, however one problem I have noticed is my Duncan has been a little shriveled ever since I installed them. Everything else seems to be doing fine, although I had to back down the lighting to about 40%. I have been running the LED's for about two weeks. The duncan is at the bottom of the tank, in the sand. Has anyone else run into this?

    Hiya,

    It does sound like the lights may still be to high for it, though, I've got my duncan's at the top of my tank with T-5s and they're happy. Can you possibly put them under an overhang in your tank to shade them a little until they adjust to the LED's?

    My duncans and euphyllia's took the longest time to get used to my LED's when I switched from a metal halide to a A150 LED.
