Hello all,
So trying to solve question of how to match the natural sunlight spectrum - since I get greater polyp extensions in the morning when I open my windows blinds and let natural sunlight in.
I run radions g4 and g5 blue with a reef brite actnics and blue leds strips (which blanket the tank).
I think Abe mentioned in one of his videos - 6500k spectrum, but I believe that is cool white instead of warm white. When I add more cool whites no difference. Something about the natural sunlight that the sps loves.
Outside of me opening my window blinds every morning and hoping to get max sunlight - any suggestions.
I measured par. Currently par around the tank ~400-500, but with the natural sunlight it jumps to 100-200 or more.
I think this more of a spectrum question than par. Thinking warm whites.
I can add a kessil 360x or get some led strip. I prefer not to go the t5 route, and have the need to change it out every 6 months. But if I must I will.
