I recently switched from EcoTech Radions to an ATI SunPower that uses three ATI Coral Plus bulbs and three ATI Blue Plus bulbs. It has taken a little time to get used to because I no longer see the fluorescence from some of my corals that tend to look best under deep blues, such as TGC Cherry Bomb, JF Homewrecker, JF Jolt, TSA Rainbow Fusion, and a handful of others. However, I love the benefits that T5s provide, such as spectrum blending, spread, and lack of hotspots.
I’d love to see what your corals look like under whites—the ones that tend to stand out under blues and typically demand exorbitant prices.
I sometimes think that it’s no wonder the OG hobbyists laugh at the prices that we sometimes pay for small frags—many of the high-prices frags seem to look good under deep blues whereas they may look dull under whiter T5s and MHs.
I don’t want to get a holy war started about what light technology is best. I’m simply curious to see what some of your stunning-under-blue corals look like under whiter lights because this is the first time I’ve used T5s, and, while I miss the fluorescence at night, I have begun to prefer the daylight look.
