Can correlate coloration upticks in euphyillia from fluorescence in my experiments. It’s worth dumping a lot of energy into this area of the spectrum even if it’s inefficient and costly. Ive had some interesting long term tweaks from even higher energies on some SPS corals as well, but it’s not an immediate effect.
I'm curious if this also means the same spectrum is best for their growth and long term sustainability. I have head several folks optimize for different things at different phases of the tank. I definitely think there a huge benefit to know the species specific best coloration spectrum. How are these corals doing now? Any observations on their growth?You will get most coral fluorescent color excitement with 450nm to ~400nm. Being able to fine tune as many spectrum between 450nm-400nm is key to a lot of unique coral coloration. With ReeFi Duo Extreme, you can fine tune control 470nm, 450nm, 435nm, 420nm, and 400nm, along with 4 other wide spectrums. I have yet to see other reef lighting that can bring out colors from these rare hammers, torches, and rainbow brain.
