Best light setting for just POP for AI lights

[Waynerock]

I just want to make a save that I can switch to and show guests how crazy fluorescent the corals can get. This is NOT for everyday use. Is it all Royal Blue only or reg blue? Mix in some violet or UV? Red? What is the best it’s for a few AI prime 16’s. Thanks

390 nm

Its crazy, the tank is dark and the corals glow insane

Of course if you want you can mix in some royal blue or 410-420 violet, but IMO the 390 just kicks but and people freak out

Sweet thanks! Yea just glowing I don’t even care if I see the rocks.

Definitely go with some 390 nm leds then.

The whole idea is that our eyes don't pick up that wavelength very well, but the coral have fluorescent proteins that absorb that wavelength and emit one that's more appealing to our eyes. It leaves us with an effect of the corals glowing in the dark.

For night pop I have my royal bkus at 40%, UV and Violet at 10% all others 0%. This provides a crazy popping glowing tank.
