Radion gen3 and blue Acans

All of my Acans that have dark blues in them have turned a sky blue color. I know that LEDs can do this but I was wondering what people have done to both prevent or fix the color morphing. BTW my best Acan was under an overhang! It still changed color.

I use led light and I feel like when my acans start losing color I need to feed them more and keep my nitrates a bit higher. It typically means my nitrates are down close to 0.

Good nutrients and target low light (70 par) at low wavelength e.g. 420nm. T5 works best
