Hello!
I've got a question regarding lighting. What aspect of it keeps the corals open?
Is it the wavelength or intensity? Or both?
I have a Maxpsect Jump M-J165 Light, which so far has been performing well for me.
Couple of days ago I realised I do not enjoy how the tank looks. I want to have it so the corals pop in the evenings when I actually have a chance to view the tank, but I don't want it to bright, if possible.
I reduced most of the white colour and went down considerably on intensity for both the UV and royal blue channels, to where I find the tank visually pleasing in the evenings.
Sadly this resulted in some corals going to sleep "prematurely".
Nearly all pipe organ corals close, the euphylias shrink, briareum closes up.
I marked which corals I have the issue with and more or less how the light is. Please mind this looks nothing like in person
Should I leave it as is for now and let them adjust?
Should I bring it up?
