Hey there I have a 20 gallon peninsula tank with all soft corals and one octospawn. Has an AI Prime HD. I really like the look of whiter lighting rather than blue..my question is, do the corals photosynthesize ok still if I transition my lighting to whiter? As of now I’m at UV/V 70%, RY/B 65%, G 0, DR 10%, ML 0, CW 20%. This is at max. My corals seem ok with this but I would like to slowly acclimate them to whiter lighting but not if it will be detrimental to them. Has anyone used a whiter setting for corals and if so, let me know :)

I have seen Inland Reef’s tank and it’s absolutely beautiful and would love to mimic some of that in my small tank!

You can add more white without issue. White light is, basically, blue and yellow mixed (and a tiny bit of red and green typically).
