Green/Yellow/Red LED's

Green = 0 photosynthesis
To much red = Bleaching!

I agree!

Hi reefers...how are you?
I don´t know if I´m wrong but...to my knowledge:

There is no other reason to use reds and greens other than aesthetics.

Green is out of the PUR peaks so photosynthesis couldn´t happen

Red is inside the second peak...BUT the photosynthesis don´t occur in zooxanthela as in plants. Some reactions to red light cause a uncopling of some steps of the photosynthesis chain, stoping the photosynthesis (red light teory).

Green = 0 photosynthesis
To much red = Bleaching!:mad2:

Dana Ridle talk about this points in a article in advanced aquarist magazine.:reading:

I believe you are correct. This is consistent with everything I have read.

Side note...

I am using a DIY led fixture (cree leds) since day one of my reef ( 14 months, only blue and cool white). The sps are growing like grass and colors are very good (TO MY TASTE..). So far so good! ;-)

Hails from Brazil!
