my tank is 7 years old and after 1 year i bought a green carpet. my lighting is 8 48' vhos on a 150g tank i had corallife bulbs first (they suck). Once one blew out after 3 months i switched to uri and love them had 4 aquasun and 4 super actinics. A few months later i got the nem and it moved to a spot and anchored itself through the deep sand bed to the bottom of the tank well it grew over the years i bought 2 maroons and they became a mated pair. i liked the way it looked, after three years i replaced my bulbs i know a long time but it worked. The aquasuns were backordered so i got actinic whites well my nem did not like this it didn't open fully. I waited a week and ordered 2 454s and 2 aquasuns and the nem liked it and opened. So recently a guy moved in next door and has a 180 with mh lights like 20k i liked the look and switched to mostly actinic with some actinic whites and the nem hated it it actually slid around a corner of a rock, I waited a bit and changed one bulb to aquasun 10k spectrum and now happy. I researched this type of nem and found they live in like 3ft of water and like the 6-10k spectrum or full spectrum, i want the look of actinic in my tank. I also have a mix reef with acros softies and lps. Has anyone heard of this before can my nem be ok under a higher color temp light or am i just not giving enough time. I am also experimenting on par 38 led which are nice spotlighting my sps. My nem is my centerpiece and is #1 to make happy but i want the best of both worlds if possible any suggestions appreciated
