The T5 "blue" bulbs that JF uses are similar to Blue Plus... they have all kinds of wavelengths in them including green, red and yellow. I also seriously doubt that JF is a multimillionaire by selling corals - I hope that he is, but that is not likely. Besides, if people are not willing to go 100% into his method, then don't just pick and choose... so get on board with the huge, massive water changes, being around the corals hours per day and all of the rest.
Zoox needs down time to do some of the cellular repair and stuff... I would not run lights for more than 12 hours, but 8 is usually enough. Lights on all the time will be a disaster after a while. After a while, zoox will shut down and not get anything more out of the lights.
Most all corals in this hobby are collected from depths achievable on one-breath where there is still a massive amount of UV, IR and every spectrum in the middle - a true 6500k type of spectrum. There are corals that grow deeper, but the stuff what we have is not likely from there (some, but not much) - the use of rebreathers and equipment to get to 150 meters is dangerous, expensive and used mostly in the hobby to collect fish which have way more value than corals which can be had in waist deep water or with masks snorkels. When we were in the coral sea, the dudes on the boats collected in waist deep water, in low tide in pools ankle deep and also with masks in water about 10-12 feet deep - they got everything from 'nems to softies to acropora.
