🚨 STOP CHASING BRIGHT LIGHTS ON YOUR TANK 🚨
It has been on my mind since someone said nonchalantly, "The spectrum does nothing, sets the light as you want." Like, what's the deal with the "full spectrum" light then?
Let's be honest:
If "brighter = better", then why are your corals still stressed and eventually dying?
Cranking up white channel? ❌
Maxing out favorite channels? ❌
Corals actually want:
1. Royal Blue spectrum for photosynthesis
2. Violet spectrum for color and fluorescence
3. Stable spectrum for low stress and high growth
Too much UV/UVA = Hidden stress, bleach in days, bailout in weeks
High Red/Green = Algae favorite
"You don't need the brightest tank, you need a tank where your corals thrive, not just survive."
Currently using redsea coral pro salt. Wanting to transition to a similar salt that doesn’t have a bunch of residue and can be stored better in my brute trash can for a few weeks. Any recommendations on salts?
Half off all PODS and PHYTO!! Use code HALFOFF
While supplies last!!

Right now i have it set at the 1-8-1 ratio mixed with the AB setting but i dont know if my spectrum of lights is to much or not enough 😅 was curious if anyone felt nice enough to share their settings 🤞🙏 we have majority sps corals. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
