All blue lights?

[ndz98]

Does anyone out there run only blues on there tank all day or vice versa? What are the pros and cons of doing so? My coral doesn't seem to be doing to hot right now and all my levels check out. They seem to really thrive more with blue light. I can't seem to figure out why my RBTA is shrinking too.

I switched to running all blues after I got bad hair algae all over my rocks and sand. Seems to have helped stop the growth of it.

This will be all based on the spectrum of the blue and what lamps/led's you are using

I toned down my whites a ton a few days ago.
corals seems to be happier with more blue.

how long has the RBTA been in the tank?

My favorite task at my LFS runs a Kessil a360 at 90% blue with 80% intensity and all the corals are healthy and gorgeous. That being said, not all blue light is created equal. What kind of lights are you running?

It's been in the tank almost four months.

I have an SB reef light extreme.

Any ideas as to why you think the RBTA is not doing so well?
