Hi

can anyone please tell me what is the function of blue light apart from making the flourescent corals and fish glow and look pretty, that is.

Thanks..

It provides a spectrum of radiation that is very usable for the corals. It is believed that the "best" light for corals is found in the 400-500nm range, the blue (actinic) lights provide the majority of their light in this wave length.
