I have a maxspect razor 160w 16k fixture. I've had it for about 2 years now. I've noticed the corals don't have that LED pop and color as they did when I first installed the light. When they ramp down into sunset the color comes out a little more under the blue lignts but not as much as they used to. Is it time to change out the LED pads? I thought the LED's were supposed to last longer but I should have known it was too good to be true.

Are you sure it the LED lighting that causing this? I have never had this complaint before.

Yea, I'm pretty sure. My water parameters all look good. I have had this set up for 10 years now. I have some mushrooms that were a deep purple under pc lighting and when I replaced the pc with the razor those same mushrooms took on a teal green fluoresence. I was very pleased with the color change and pop from all the corals. I currently have monti cap, duncan's, zoa's and mushrooms in this tank. I noticed about 6 months ago the color pop starting to fade and now the mushrooms don't have the teal green fluoresence. They are more of a light dull blue purple.
