Reefbrite 50/50. For sps?

[rogergolf66]

Ok so I have a question. I have 2 reefbrite 50/50 led tech fixtures. Has anyone ever grown coral under these? It would not be the primary light but I do like how they light up the tank. What's your thought on what these would do to color and growth of sps corals?

They'll work about the same as putting a 6500K daylight T5 and an Actinic T5 side by side over your tank. The look will be determined by the depth of the tank and what other lights you combine them with.

Many people use/used 6500K T5s for growth, being the equivalent of mid-day sunlight they'll bright. The blues will have the usual influence on fluorescence.

I have a few of the Techs and several XHOs, they're great lights.

Thx for the response. Yes I love the look of the 50/50 throughout the tank but I haven't tried corals under them. The other lighting going with them is an Ati 4 x80 and three Kessil 360we. I haven't desired what t5 bulbs to use with them and I haven't decided what color to set the Kessle at either.
