I run Ai hydra’s and I don’t know what spectrum my lights currently have, but it’s in the 20K range. My goal is to provide coral as much spectrum that they absorb. My LED’s are very blue heavy with UV, violet, royal maxed and the rest very low. I think that Ai Hydra had a dip in the 420nm range.

I have a 4 bulb t5 and I want to know if I would be a good idea to run all the bulbs actinic to get the best spectrum for coral growth.

Coral fluorescent is important to me too.
