Light for coral

[DocOck]

I really do not like the blue light that is on most corals. Are their lights that can make the tanks bright and natural looking that are good for corals?

Thanks

It's all in the camera. Most cameras aren't able to compensate for the blue of the lights so it looks flooded. Also, corals need a bit above 10000k light for growth which is fairly heavy in blues to begin with.

I had a fairly decent camera and took 3 pictures with different intensities of blues with the same camera setting just to get a decent reference. The middle one is what most reef lighting shoots for.

6500k

12000k ish

20000k
