6500k freshwater T5 bulbs are overlooked as well.Aquablue special are way over looked by most, but the colors and coral response should not be overlooked. I feel these give as close to bright daylight on a reef look as can be had with any t5.

Back in the day we were always told that you needed the white light to make the corals grow and the blue was to make them pop. Today we know differently but what exactly is the BEST percentage combo to experience the best coral growth from a lighting aspect? Throw all the other variables out the door as if they were perfect. This is about Blue versus White! Let's talk about it!
What percentage of blue and white do you think makes the best coral growth combo?

I use similar setup on my Hydra 16HD. Actually got elsewhere but the "jigsaw" was only on the violet and blues. would you share yours so I can try here and see if get better results here ? thanks in advanceI have had the best results with running mostly blue with AI Hydra 26's
Viparspectras 100% blue 1% white 10" off the surface.
72 gal DT 80 gal total systemCould you share that lighting schedule file please?
How big is your tank?

This my setup on Hydra 16HD, till now my judgment I have good results. I go from softies up to Acros (more recently).Back in the day we were always told that you needed the white light to make the corals grow and the blue was to make them pop.

How long you had them own, fast growth and what’s your schedule for your X360. This would help those of us who own Kessil X360 (me included!).

I've been using Kessil's since 2015 and I've always used a 12hr cycle. I initially started with a 3hr ramp up/down, but now I'm only ramping up/down for 2hrs with a 8hr peak. During peak hours I have violet set to 100% with 5% red a green. My current intensity starts at 85% (I think), then ramps up to 95%. Color starts at 0% and follows the ramp to 25%, then to 35%. I'll try and take screen shots of my controller for a more detailed schedule. I've always just used Kessil's quick set tuna blue program and modified it to my liking. It just makes it easier to program.How long you had them own, fast growth and what’s your schedule for your X360. This would help those of us who own Kessil X360 (me included!). Lol Thanks!
