Ideas for LED supplementation

[Bblinks]

Brad, I think you should try 3 X 24inch fiji pinks to supplement in between the sols. It will be the most cost effective way. I also need you to come by one day and check out my tank. I bumped the whites to 80% at the peak and 100% for both blues, to be my surprise I am getting more colors out of some of the paler ones. To be honest I love my sols and if I can get the red spectrum covered then they should be fine. you need to come by!!!

What color is your pink and blue milli?

I have mine at 85/100/100, so very close with brighter white. I should be over first week of December. I should stop by

Mostly blue with a bit of red....hence the T5 fiji pink.

See., that's the issue. It used to be more pink with blue highlights.

I still run my Fiji pinks and blues along with my sols.
I do notice more growth with the LED lighting.
Damn...going to have to start fraging.

Not sure if anyone commented on this earlier but AI should be releasing custom pucks for us Sol owners, you would be able to add in the red/green/violet soon enough. If pricing is the same as the other ones your looking at 25/puck. probably need 2/fixture if you got enough for a half to a quarter of your tank probably wouldnt be a very expensive test.

Jon, my concern is we don't know that those colors do anything extra. and at 12 pucks x 25 bucks, that ain't gonna happen

Sorry for the late reply but I've been thinking about this piece (I tend to obsess about these things), do you know the lineage of it?

I had a pink and blue milli that originally came from Superfudge's frag tank. It was encrusted on a plug, and I mistook it for a superman monti. "No" says Marc "That's just a blue milli". Sure enough, in his display it was a beautiful blue Millepora.

In my tank it retained it's coloration, and I referred to it as my "Superman Milli". Tangdaddy managed to turn it into the most beautiful blue milli I've ever seen by dosing potassium in his tank.

When I tore down my 180 if I'm not mistaken most of the colony went to KPG007.

So, to make a short story long, if this is the same coral (or something similar) the color is highly variable, and you're in good company if it's blue

This is one from Tim, I think it's originally a wild sourced colony. Tim would have to verify.

Brad, did you find a solution to supplement your AI sol's?
