Hey guys so I have a question and I know its part of the never ending debate. I’ve read for best coral growth, the lower degrees of Kelvin the better. But typically, 6500k-8500k and even sometimes 10000k gives you that unwanted yellow look. Has anyone dialed down where I can be on that scale while still getting good coral growth but making my zoathids and other softies pop? I’m running two Maxspect Ethereal 130W lights.
 
I think from what I've read that it's the blue light spectrum that's the most important. I'll bump this up for more knowledgeable reefers than me. :-)
