Including a wide variety of LEDs in the 380 - 500 nm range will ensure you get the best “pop” out of all your corals. I stumbled upon this great example while playing around with these flashlights after dark in the frag tank. Some popular LED bars used for supplement (and even some main fixtures!) only contain one or two different wavelengths of blue LEDs, but with this setup you’re likely missing out on some corals which fluoresce at different wavelengths. When I’m looking for an LED bar to supplement “pop” I look for something that includes as many different wavelength diodes as possible.

Lights on💡. Coffee time ☕️
Lights come on, fish start moving, corals open up… best part of the day.
Just me, the tank, and my coffee.
My tank gets natural sunlight during part of the day, the difference it makes to the fish colours are amazing compared to the more blue hues we run tanks at.
Love the Blue faze of my evening ramp down.
new lights and a water change. #xr15 #20gAIO #timeforcorals
Rare moment when I run white lights
When the lights first come on
Top-down view under full blues just before lights out colors go crazy at this time!
Polyplab v2 is great under full blues. Some cheap macro clip ons can get some nice shots also...but its time to step up the photos to match the reef.
Upgraded to a Wyze cam v4 with window mount directly to side of tank . I like it so far . Not using any reef lense atm . But my 12pm light schedule is basically only 30% blues on the kessil 360 tuna.
New light!
