Best lighting for coral coloration & Growth

[thompson2224]

I have LED's and have a rainbow acan and some other colorful colonies that have lost some of the colors that they have from when I bought them.

What color spectrum makes the rainbow and colors more vibrant?

My LED's have the ability to increase or decrease the color within 4 channels from 0 to 100% power or brightness.

Here are what is in each channel? I can also program each channel to be on at different percentages throughout the day.

What would you recommend I have each channel at?
So Channel 1 at xx% channel 2 at xx% and so on

Lighting seems to be very subjective and I can't comment on which setting you should use. With that being said I have an ultra rainbow acan on the sand that is thriving under a kessil360 which is abiut 15" above the water surface and another 12" of deep water

I agree that it is subjective. I personally prefer my LEDs more white than blue. It lolks closer to what I see snorkeling. I run my Reefbreeder ro peak at about 70% white 65%blue. The light is about 8" above the water, and my acan are about 15" below the water suface. They do well, slow growing. The colors pop more under sunset/moonlight (blue), but it is not a natural looking coloration.
