Lighting spectrum for optimal Euphyllia coloration and growth

[jon2norris]

I’m looking for suggestions for the optimal lighting spectrum/schedule for Euphyllia growth and coloration, currently I have a 11 hour photo period, four of those hours are full spectrum with uv and cyan at 40 percent, everything else at 100, the remaining seven hours are all blue, par is around 120 on the sandbed, four foot tank, 55 gallon with a Refugium, running two radion g5 xr15 blue, dose aminos every other day, feed frozen, I have six fish, any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, tank is around 8 months old, nitrate 10, phosphate .09. Alkalinity 8.3-8.8, magnesium 1450-1500, calcium 440, ph 8.09-8.15, running Kalk in my ato, I’m starting a Kalk stirrer this weekend! Thanks!

Looks like you are doing pretty good to me, what aminos are you using?

Thanks I’m using the Korallen-Zucht LPS aminos, I originally started with ABplus by reef energy, after a couple months I switched to the Korallen

Tank looks good. Euphyllia can adapt to just about any light. If your nutrients can support it, 450-550 par is doable (just to give you some insight).

if your corals are doing well and growing-don’t change. Just keep swimming!

Tank stability is the key. Keep it up
