Kessil - coral coloring

[Josh125]

Hi guys and gals.

I've had my Kessil150 over my Manta Ray 18 for 10 months now and to be honest, I'm not happy with the way my corals look under them. Case in point, I picked up a beautiful yellow Alan today at the LFS today and when I put it in my tank it looks like a dull orange. I've not had my months keep their color very well either so I'm on the hunt for a possible new setup.

I don't keep SPS so intense lighting isn't a requirement. Thoughts?

Sounds like too much blue? Maybe supplement it with a couple warm LEDs?

I have the 15k kessil A150 over my 30 gallon half moon tank and it's super blue. I used a 12" 12k current usa led strip to tone it down, and my corals are much nicer now.
