Still the good ol blue plus. Coral plus and purple plus bulbs!

Running the Blue Plus and Coral Plus at one point but lost the purple and pinks of the HW. I've switched Coral Plus to true actinics hoping for the colors to come back.

There was a point in time where I accidently swapped out a purple plus bulb for a blue plus for i believe 2 3 months and my corals absolutely colored up better.

I never kept it that way. When I noticed I switched back to using a purple but it might be worth taking the purple out all together.

In 11 years it was one of the first times ive ever noticed such a big positive difference in a short period of time. Just from 1 t5 bulb.

Amazing pics! Inspiring too!! What to do when you love 100 different kind of acros but your tank is only so big, haha

Thanks! I’ll give that a go.

Ahh, very nicely done, you’re doing amazing stuff with your coral! I underestimated the number/variety of acros by a lot, haha
