Marie, I would agree only if the other corals around it were acting the same. But this one is right up under the light, maybe 6inches under waterline. I have a pink milli, same height on the other side of the tank, it's doing incredible, holding it's pink very well. I'm not saying lack of light isn't it though, because it was in the same spot under the 400w. And you're right, one SOL unit is not anywhere near a 400w MH bulb in intensity.

Sounds like I need to supplement the LED with MH bulbs

I have a brilliant idea for you....

How about you send over some frags and ill put them under a LED full spectrum build and in a couple weeks you can see if it makes a substantial difference to you...

That's not altogether a bad idea. Let me figure that out, and we'll see what we can do

I would of course purchase them off you. Just give me a good deal and pick the ones that are orange/red/pink that you feel arent giving their true color.

I think its just a lack of intensity, at least for me. My colours were fine under my SWC lights but not great spread and just ok growth. Under the new Evergreen, I have more spread and looks like more intense to me but just not right for what ever reason.

I was thinking of adding the Panorama Pro thats on the group buy but sheez already. I have two fixtures now and still cant get it right. Going to hand a 250 halide over my tank soon.

What group buy is this? Can you please point me to that thread? I talked to a vendor on here and he did not mention any such thing.

Try supplementing your LED with a couple of 70w HQI DE and see how that goes.
