AI PRIME LIGHT SETTING

[GarciaCO]

I have an AI Prime and was wondering how does blue lights help a coral grow more. Is it nessecary to have the blue lights?
I have included a picture of my current settings of the Ai prime. I would like to lower the blues but if it helps corals grow I will keep it at that settings.

Corals rely mainly on the blue spectrum for growth.

Oh okay and what do you think about my light settings? These light settings are for my fluval 12.5 gallon

Blue light is crucial for coral growth, as it's the main spectrum they have in the ocean after several feet depth.

BRS did an episode where they got the Prime HD's close to the Ecotech AB+ setting, plus it looks great... Find a spectrum that can be proven to grow corals, and that you like and LEAVE IT...don't change colors every day...

Acclimate all your corals for a minimum of 45days due to your tank depth.

Oh ok thanks. I will raise my light settings. Also what helps with green algae on the rock and glass. My tank is 2 years old.
