What colors/settings should I try using to bring out the best colors in my corals ?
I bought a couple splatter corals that online the colors where a bea Royal blue surrounded by green, in my tank they look dull green with grey white instead of Royal
Any suggestions on how to get my corals to show better colors?

What template are you using? I run a variation of the Radiance template with lime, cyan and red to make corals pop while dialing back my whites.

How high above the water surface are you running these? Also how are they spaced out and over what dimensions of vat/tank?

Thank you
I was playing around with the colors last night and still couldn’t get the blue in the corals to pop

The Radions are roughly 18" above the water and spaced out about a 1' from each other.

The lights are like this on all our tanks, which range from an 80 gallon up to 450 gallons.

Hrm...I figured I needed more light. Maybe I don't. I have my G4/G5 pro mix about 3 inches apart side by side and the two rows about 8 inches from each other and figured I needed more (13 inch height). Maybe I don't...

Currently have 7 over my 72x48x30 with 3 orphek bars in between.

You have to grow/render the colors in the corals before they will pop. In general, daylight to render the color and then blue it up to your liking to look at them. Some corals just never will pop.

Here is an example of how the lights are setup.

You Florida guys always get the most out of your lights... LOL!

I am guessing the flow ends up being the most important thing overall (not to say lights don't matter).
