light intensity for milli color?

[gr8nano]

hi all!
i currently have a jbj 28 gal nano with 150 w usio 20k bulb. 2-18 watt pc actinics(uvl pc-r bulbs). my tank is plenty blue an reflects all colors well. I have 3 millipora that are growing well, but the pink i feel could be brighter, and same with blue. I have seen som pictures of millis under 10k lighting with an amazing differeance in color when compared to 20 k. my question would mainly be has anyone had first hand experiance with this color differenc under different lighting(20k vs 14k vs 10k)? i am considering a change to 14k and this would probably push me to it if this color phenomina has been proven by my fellow reefers. I keep a very healthy tank with plenty of nutrient, and feed sps with zeovit coral vitalizer and ocasional cyclopes. so lets see what you guys have maybe a pic or two or just anything to see if there is any truth behind this. THANKS!

IMO, my Millies always look more intense in color on photo than they actually are. I think it's the effect of a bright tank. Most people take pics of their coral looking down but most of them time, we view the corals at right angle to the light. You can showcase a brighter color if you have deep enough tank by putting he coral behind the light so that the side of the coral that gets the most light is the side that you view.
