NPS Lights

[svreef]

After I’m done with the https://reef.ee tank I’m thinking of turning it into a non photosynthetic tank with Dendros, tube nems and other NPS corals. Together with an angler and other unusual fish.

How could I light the tank with something that highlights the fluorescent colors but doesn’t provide enough spectrum or intensity for the uglies that need it? It’s a 25g lagoon.

Something blue. Something dim? Lots of CUC?
If you're happy with moonlight intensity lighting you're set. A dimly lit tank actually looks really good so long as you don't put it in a bright room.
I would think even with the high nutrient loads of an NPS system it wouldn't be too bad to keep the algae down in comparison to a higher light system, but that's just a guess.

I have noticed that in portions of my tank that get very little light the coralline thrives and the greener things do not.

I’d just get a cheap blue led light.
