Best lights

[abryant]

Liking to upgrade lights sometime soon I’m looking for better coral coloration. My tank is LPS and softies, currently running 2 Ai primes and a ai blade grow.

Coral coloration comes from much more than just light. I think your current setup would benefit the most from more violet light as that is what pops most LPS and softies.

Are you wanting more "pop" or something? I don't think changing the lights will really do much for color unless you want to halt growth and force them to build tons of chromoproteins

I mean there’s nothing wrong with them I just wish there was more pop. Like at the coral shows the colors really pop there and I want that in my tank they just don’t seem to look that nice

Maybe add an AI blade glow or swap yours out for that. Alternatively you could add an actinic strip from reefbrite or similar.

They run Ultra Blue tanks and only show the best of the best. I bet adding a Glow or switching the Grow for a Glow would help a lot.
