That’s not really how you’re going to run the lights is it?
You(r corals)want some white
Heh usually people ask the question the other way around with "what acros look good under white lighting?" I'd say almost anything can look good under heavy blues, except maybe very blue acros like the oregon tort which will just blend in with the lighting.
i agree.. you wont get high par with just running blues; people suggest at least 250 par for sps. i run a few spots at 350 par, but majority of my pieces are 400+ and maxes out at ~900.Good luck. Long term I wouldn’t advise it. Hope it works for you.
Even if you did get enough par I think spectrum mattersi agree.. you wont get high par with just running blues; people suggest at least 250 par for sps. i run a few spots at 350 par, but majority of my pieces are 400+ and maxes out at ~900.
It might work. Not saying don’t try. Maybe try with cheaper aquaculture acros first.A lot to consider, thanks for all the info. My tank is in a happy place and it sounds like it may need a lot of changes to be successful at SPS. I’ll probably take it slowly and add a little while increasing the PAR until the current corals adjust and revisit SPS later and start off with easier ones.
Had some time to think about this and I think it might work. With the Radions I can choose the specific spectrum of light at different intervals during the day.If your lights can do it, I’m happy with a spectrum that changes slowly throughout the day. Heavily blue in the morning and evening, whiter midday. Mostly because different coral, fish, etc look better under different lightning.
My understanding is that if you are using Kessil you will get the spectrum corals need regardless of appearance of the color if you stay in the preselected range. The other brands make it too easy to pick a spectrum that doesn’t work as well but there are expert-picked blue spectrums out there to use if you want.
As far as your actual question, basically anything with fluorescence and that is advertised with blue pics online, which includes basically everything that is expensive. In person, some stores will mess with the spectrum temporarily to show you if you want. There are too many good choices to list them all or give more specific guidelines.
since you have the radions, just run the ab+ program and extend the blues set points longer, that is what i do.
