I have my old freshwater light that I was hoping to use as my coral QT light. It was a custom spectrum reefbreeder so it has plenty of par. I’d only use the bluer of the two channels which still gives me up to 200 par over the tank but the spectrum is much more white than a typical reef light. Below is the spectrum I took a few years ago.

Am I going to have issues or would this be ok for the 80 days of quarantine for most LPS?
 
What wavelength is that blue peak at? I think it's fine. Looks better than some reef lights out there lol
 
At 200 PAR for quarantine purposes, light should work fine

The peak is right at 400. It’s a 48” fixture over my 36” long tank so should get full coverage.

Yes I think it's fine. Out of curiosity, did reef breeders customize the spectrum for you or did you (or someone else) do it?

They did it for me. That was 5 years ago though, they were less well known back then. I just sent him what leds I wanted and he built it up for me.
