Ive brought a few corals back from alk bleaching so I get it.If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you are going to raise them, do it slowly. Corals can take months to recover from bleaching... trust me

I hear the blue is better on SPS though
I meant the first cup....Finish? sounds horrible.
hayyyyyy you!If your using a par meter I don't think there'd be any harm at all if you go slow. Adding just blue shouldn't add much par to equation, but I dont know the light well enough to know what spectrum "blue" is in that fixture.
AS far as color goes and whats "better", as far as Ive seen you can grow the same stuff at "10k" to "24k" and up.
There is a guy running only the blue side on his Kessil, but what that means on his light is the high end and very little of the low. It does still contain a fair amount of the components of what we would call "white" because its a kessil. Conversely one of the Big time coral vendors is only running the "white" side of radions on all the livestock. So whan reefers say "blue" and "white", The Q is what frequency range does each contain. So when we read that a coral likes "more blue" and "really responds" is it merely the increase in par or is it filling in the spectrum of a more truly "white light"
I meant the first cup....
Hey Lady...If I up the blues, I wont get better par but the corals will look better.
If on your favorite setting you up only the blues, yes you should get slightly more par. "Looking better" is subjective and specific to fixture, color of corals rock bla bla bla.If I up the blues, I wont get better par but the corals will look better.
Lol the pop of color is what I think looks best.If on your favorite setting you up only the blues, yes you should get slightly more par. "Looking better" is subjective and specific to fixture, color of corals rock bla bla bla.

Interesting, what's the par in your tank? Those lights must be super strong lolI
