Blue and red is very important for photosynthsis. White has a bit of both.

RockyBoy Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 LED should be good for LPS. My hammer, torch, zoas, purple anemone all enjoying good growth. Invest abit more to save on the opex.

VelvetAirwaves Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sps seem to respond Quite well to led lighting, but in my case, my zoas don't seem to pop as they did under t5ho. Anybody else experiencing this? My purple death looking brown under normal lighting only deep purple when I off the main lights and leave the blues on.

They are bright, coloful and very efficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VelvetAirwaves Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Don't know if its bad husbandry or something. Because some of the purple death I see is super purple with just whites on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
