So I am in the middle of a frag tank build that I plan on having 90% of it zoas and palys. Now in south Florida, the big thing when talking about lighting everyone says blue for color and white for growth. Now has anyone done a strictly blue lighting specifically led grow out and compared to a white lighting grow out. I really would like to see some facts if so. Par, and which led's you're using. Pictures of colors. Any advice, I just picked up a bunch of new higher end frags of Zoanthids and palys, and would really like to grow them top notch quality. Growth rate isn't nearly as important as color. Also after bring under blue led's, if I move a frag to my main reef tank will it start to loose color over time because of whites? I'm pretty curious, this is strictly speaking about softies here guys, trying to stress that. Please speak facts not just , blue is better. Thanks and happy reefing.

Still didn't answer, what I am asking here. Full spectrum sure cover everything. Thanks Iphone no offense I understand that. The purpose of this thread was to see if anyone has experience growing zoanthids in a stricts blue light environment. Preferably someone that has grown in full spectrum, just white and just blue. I want to see some examples of frags growths in different environments. Almost like how people put T5's next to LED's when people were unsure about led's in the market. Now to clarify I am speaking led's in general. If not looks like I maybe the one to do it.

I have a coral propagation book where the author suggest blue is enough for zoas. I'll try to find the book when I get home. I'd go for it.
