Cool mang!

I have seen sps under Mithras and ai, I have also seen the radion led at Jl on their small tank and it looks pretty natural colour for light.

I am now running t5 and while I am happy with the colour visually, I have always leaned toward the blue spectrum more. I plan on adding some stunner strips of blue and magenta to the mix to see some more pop in my sps.

I use the Natural Mode with my Radions, which ramps them up gradually to a peak (high noon) and then back down to night (with moonlight on). I also have the depth set to 60 ft, which changes the light, too. Works fine for me, and my SPS are growing really nicely. I use both Gen 1's and Gen 2's.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
