I have a question for the LED sps keepers, I would like to see your sps that are green under LEDs the reason I ask is I would like to know if the acros keep that deep green look or fade in time to a lighter green or even to a dark yellow.
Thanks
Here is mine
I've noticed greens tend to lighten up under lower nutrient conditions, both using LEDs or halides. Right now with LEDs some of my greens pop and some are more yellow, not a lot of help but thought I'd give my .02
depending on the species of the coral and the coral lights, green will look yellow. Not really a probem cause you need excelent conditions in the tank to have yellow stay yellow.
Frank alot of sps will lighten up under lower nutrient systems. I guess the deep green changes with the zooanthely of the coral when the blue lights hit it.
I have a green slimer under led for about 2 weeks now and it def looks more yellow. The blue tort and red planet frags I added at the same time look great and even have gotten darker. I should say the frags all came from another led tank.
I have a big green banana blob stag Perc under the radium and a frag of the same in the 120W blue/white LED section of the sump. The frag has been under the LED's for over 3 months and it's much yellower and fluorescent now which i like a lot more than what i see in the radium/B+ lit display.
This is very interesting and I think it's because of the blue LEDs that I have do not go to 420nm in color. I like the yellow but also want my greens to pop and I am having a hard time getting it. Can any of you guys or ladies post some pictures of your findings?
Ok so I took a photo last night and to my surprise my frag looks green. I wonder if the naked eye sees the light spectrum differently then the camera. Btw it was taken with my iPhone.
LED's for the entire lifespan of my tank and I have no issues with green pigments or really any pigments in general. I run a DIY setup with royal blues, true blues, true violets, neutral whites, and ocean coral white led's (red,green,turqouise).
