Corals seems healthy and happy but the colors just doesn't pop out like they did in LFS. Although my tank has quite a few different types of corals now, there seems to be huge lack of colors

Will adding royal blue LED strips help?

So I will have to stick to my lights now right? The only coral that pops out its color is the neon green trumpet. The hammer that I recently got was EXTREMELY green in the LFS but its light green in my tank

If you can't change bulbs in that fixture (no idea if you can or not) then you'd be better buying a used better fixture, maybe 4 bulb, and try different combos.

Yah I was thinking about that too. Let's see if someone with a deal on 4 bulb fixture comes up

I've made a DIY LED fixture and in the mix I've included Exotics Ocean Coral White and True Violet LED's and they're amazing!

You can probably build your own led fixture for the same price as buying a used t5 on here. You can choose your colors and customize it anyway you want.

I'm guessing the probably pc. Check the bulb. To see if its 4 straight pins or 4 pins in square. Coralife is one of the few left still making 4 square pin. But look online. You can get combo bulbs where it's blue and 10k. Or blue and pink. The list goes on.

Is it a pc bulb?
