WHY CANT I GET COLOR AhHHHHHH

no i just added this pretty pink acro with white polyps and in a matter of 2 weeks it was brown. i cant really say. maybe im not adding enough light. im only at 65 percent and its been 7 months or so since i added the AI. would still love to see your red pinks and yellows.it would be nice if AI gave a booklet for different systems and there recommendation for lighting period for each. i still dont know how to set it properly that may be an issue

I have no yellow corals but I'll show you red, pink, blue, green, and purple under royal and cool white (Acan 104 fixture). Tank lights come on later.

In the meantime, this is a pic of my old nano under DIY royal and cool white.

What optics are you running of your Sols?

I had a buddy with ai sols with the same issue even worse his water numbers were great but corals were bad. The led manufacturers do not have the most important spectrum 420nm thats the color problem with led's add some 420 weather t5 vho or led and the colors should come out. Just look at the chlorophyll charts in corals. Why some have success and some don't does not make sense to me, I think different corals act different under leds and maybe someone having success just have the coral that can adjust to that light, and some of the royal blues are from different batches they have a different nm range.
