Skeptics, here's the proof that LED grows colorful SPS's

[SPSEMPIRE]

I'm using dosing pumps to dose my daily Ca/KH - I'm using Kent Turbo Calcium (CaCl2) and Arm'n'Hammer Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate) as my Ca/KH additive, using saturated solution for KH and adding 12 tablespoons CaCl2 to 1.7L (about half a gallon) RO/DI water.

Acrotrdco,
Pls let me know what your custome color is in your 160W fixture, and how far your fixtures to the water surface is? I have the same fixtures as yours with original semi-leds. The SPS didn't seem to be happy. Some of them died and many of them looked so pale.

My tank is 120 Gal 48"x24"x24". I am running 2 X 160W with 3W blue leds on for 8h, 3W white leds on for 7 hours, and 30W white leds on for 4 hours. The distance from the light to the surface is 2". I don't use the optic lens, and most of my SPS is around 7" below the water surface.

Thx

Acrotrdco,
I found another thread from yours discussing about the custom color of your light. It was pleasure to read them all. You have nice shots of your coral too.

Thx.
