3 things:

Blue LEDs
An orange camera lens filter
Heavy use of Adobe Lightroom.

No metal halide or t5 combo will replicate that look you speak of

Question I have and hybrid ficture with radion g5 and 4t5.
Does it make sense that for one of the t5, I put an actinic bulb or not? or the radion has already the spectrum that has the actinic? Unfortunately on the ecotech website they not show the exact spectrum of all leds they use. If there is a plus value to ad actinic for the colors or growth of corals I would do it, but visually I prefer the blue plus or coral plus because the actinic is so dark that I can even see it when it is turn on, would it really make the corals pop more with time?
