Hi,
I would recommend either Seachem Reef dip at
http://www.premiumaquatics.com/Merc...een=PROD&Product_Code=SEA-RDIP&Category_Code=
Or using Lugols solution and making your own basically. Maybe quart of your tank water mixed in with 10 drops of lugols and soak 10 minutes then discard the dip water.
On your bulbs, do you have any actinics or halide only? 10K or higher is going to keep your corals healthy, after that is more for human looks and growth you want. The higher the K, the more blue you get, but also slows down growth, although sometimes you get more intense colors with higher K bulbs.
I like for halide only, the 14K hamilton or 20K Icecap, far as looks goes. If you had 2 or 4 VHO or T5 actinics though, a 10K Ushio, or 14K Megachrome (there bulb is white, not blue like other 14ks').
