Hi,
I've had my aquarium now for over 2 years, but my corals dont pop in color, like some others' aquarium, so wonder to get more pop feeling. so what should i do? is it the hydra?
Get a new light? or just change settings?

(They are fine, they like it, they grow etc) Just want it more poping in colors.

Id up the uv on par with the blues and increase reds and greens to visual appeal.. you could decrease the whites a little more to get more of a pop too
 
I run a modified AB+ and am happy with the pop I get. If anything I need to dial back the intensity just a little some of my frogspawn is slightly bleached but others are not.
