I agree.You should then more than appreciate telling your customers "this coral requires a lot of violet light for good color and growth" vs .."go buy some t5's"...
sorry bit of levity...

I hope it does. We will see in a few weeks!Now will it "stick".. any bets?
I'm not insinuating anything.. certainly don't question your observation..
but think of it this way.. Put a blue object under a red light and it looks black..
Put a florescent pigment under a light w/ no stimulating wavelength and it doesn't fluoresce..
If some of the new color was caused by flourecence it will be less in daylight and true pigments will show..most likely..
If I had to guess, it would be less blue but not brown under "daylight" .. but again, not really a main part of what I was trying to get at..
Like I posted earlier. forget it.. I was just curious..
Still recommend trying it under an atlantik w/ heavy boost in the purple/blue range.
What is your experience with the Orpheks and why are you recommending them? Of the Radion G4 Pro's diodes, 26% of them are in the range you're talking about while 23% of the V4s diodes are in the same range (430nm and below). You can get the same results in regard to spectrum with either light (and other LEDs as well).
Not totally convinced that is true..and other LEDs as well
just came up..Not sure what Radion boom had..
...
boom's little frag is like finding a mutant strain that one can experiment on..
WHY it didn't respond to any LEd's is more crucial then the it "didn't" color under LEd's.
Obviously didn't die.. Even t5's can't revive the dead..
G4 def should of had a shot w/ this..He likely left the spectrum (AB+ as I recall) be as his other corals were coloring as expected (or desired). Coral Labs did note that a few species failed to color up appropriately under the AB+ profile and recommended the PHX 14 profile for those. Who knows if BoomCorals specimen would do better under this profile and maybe at some point down the road, he'll have time (and/or desire) to give it a shot.
G4 def should of had a shot w/ this..
Anyways one other nit.. WHY do they all insist on useless green diodes.. Cyan use cyan...Not green.. never green.. you got any whites, you have plenty of green...
Cyan is of course blue/green and highly eye visible..A lot of "green" LED's for stop lights are really cyan though more in the pred. green range of cyan ..For the same reason it shows up in the T5s; so you can enjoy looking at your tank instead of a box of Windex. It also penetrates rather deep so it is something most corals we keep are used to dealing with in the wild.
not buying it.. No magic photons...One can choose any combo of colors of the diodes and will never achieve the same results.
Properties are different: the nature of each type of light.

The reason why is because of the OTHER PROPERTIES I mentioned that LEDs simply don't have, oreo.not buying it.. No magic photons...
This is a relatively simple build in LED's

the PAR from LEDs aren't the same as the PAR from T5s, nor MHs IMO. Don't ask me to explain.
Ok, then tell me what is the god?Sounds more like a religion...............
I told you... don't ask me to explain! LOL!Sounds more like a religion...............
Look t5's and MH ARE easy..but that isn't really my "subjective" point here..
you know I was going to, err, take issue w/ that statement but since the universe is not completely solved I'll just leave it at is.
no can't resist.. maybe their photons go through a trans warp conduit picking up an quantum wave pattern undetectable to our instruments .............please take this as a simple ribbing..
Can't deny what actually isn't proven..so what you say isn't wrong..just doesn't match any physics that I know of.
There is one thing:
Photon capture is not 100% .. borders on something like 25-30% so tubes being fairly congruence will favor capturing all spectrum over its entire field w/ a bit more efficiency than broken or less diffuse sources..
But diffusion panels and linear arrays fix most of that..
Distribution effects,, NOT spectrum.
This gets touched upon a bit w/ wave action and spectrum blending and strobing..
shimmer effects..
simple test.. put white light over a tank and expose corals on one side to a shaking diffraction grating.. see if there is a difference..
One side homogeneous light. the other prismatic bandwidth light.
