Yeah, that's a drawback to LEDs.

Once the t5 goes off and the blue LEDs kick in, my corals look a lot nicer and you appreciate the piece even more. Too many options not sure what to do :(... I guess the only way is to experiment some more

So essentially you need more light coming from more directions, not really "supplements" then. In that case, I would recommend 2 Blue Plus and 2 Coral Plus with the CP on the inside and the BP on the outside. Start there and experiment with UVL Super Actinic and ATI Purple Plus. The PP really makes the corals and fish pop (especially reds which tend to look washed out in bluer spectrums) though they add a lot of pink to the look. If you can add enough blue with the LEDs then it will counteract. |
