|"The A360s are designed to always deliver the best spectrum to your corals, regardless of the color setting, so it is really the intensity that is key to coral growth and coloration.". Which I have translated to mean that changes to the color channel have no impact on the light output set by the intensity channel or actual spectrum for that matter. I also translate that the color setting is just for human visual aesthetics.I have been reading along and some of what I'm reading from this post seems to be contradictory to what I and other posts I've read are getting directly from Kessil. I quote here from an email I received, "The A360s are designed to always deliver the best spectrum to your corals, regardless of the color setting, so it is really the intensity that is key to coral growth and coloration.". Which I have translated to mean that changes to the color channel have no impact on the light output set by the intensity channel or actual spectrum for that matter. I also translate that the color setting is just for human visual aesthetics. I could be translating this incorrectly. If that is the case I am not the only one. As info, I am running a standard 75 G mixed reef, SPS dominant. Since watching the BRS vid, I slowly bumped my 2 A360WEs to 100 intensity over a few week. Color I keep relatively low, more blue. So far I believe I'm seeing good results on growth since the bump, still TBD long term. Anyway, I'm just throwing this in there for discussion, as I am still trying to educate myself on this subject. Very confusing and cryptic sometimes.
That was my translation of it as well.
