Is this 100% LED? And if so how do you get such nice vibrant colors?

Yes and Yes.

 

[Brandon McHenry]

Yes and Yes.

Congrats! Those are really great colors! But how did you manage to pull that off with just LEDs? I can never seem to achieve that with my LEDs which is why I put some T5s on the tank. However I'm still struggling with my SPS colors. I was just looking for maybe a little insight.

Do you supplement any trace elements?
Check your potassium levels make sure it is adequate. The Red Sea coral color program is good way to supplement there are plenty of brands out there

I use Natureef 2 part which is said to have trace elements in the solution. I have never checked potassium because I do not have the test kit for it and I was under the impression that regular water changes and a good 2 part were all that is really needed in terms of trace elements and dosing. I have heard of the Red Sea program and I have just been afraid to get in to that seeing as there are so many things to dose and multiple ways to go wrong.

I can only speak from my experience
I thought same as you but after I did a triton test I found my potassium was very low
Like 280 I bought a walk feet potassium kit and got the same reading. I use reef crystals and thought it had adequate potassium

For some reason my reef depleted potassium

It would be worth checking because it is an easy fix and potassium helps with colors

Do you know which test is the most accurate? I heard potassium tests can be a little wonky.

Again from my experience
I did a triton water analysis and got a report. I then used the salient potassium kit. Got the same reading

salifert potassium is very good in my opinion and it is easy to use

I can definitely look into salifert for a potassium test.

 

[acromike]

Probably a good investment
