In your opinion does coraline grow beter under some lights then others?
When you say bluer correct me if I am wrong but 14k would be bluer then 10k right because my halides are 14kI think it grows better under weak lighting, it grows like crazy in my seahorse tank which only has 96 watt compact fluorescent lighting. I've read it grows better in bluer light as well.
This is actually how my t5s are 2 actinic and 2 whiteYou can replace your white T5's with blue or purple T5's, I like the blue ones personally. We just replaced two more of our white ones with blue so we have about half and half, a little more blue actually.
Should I try more actinic?Lots of blue helps IMO. I had just the stock 50/50 PC lights on my 24. When I upgraded and added another acitinic the coralline grew 2x as fast.
