Curious on what settings people are using on their LED's to get best coloration in their nems. I've been running SPS AB+ settings and thought I recalled reading somewhere they they color better under mostly blues. Anyone experience the same?
 
I have my Nems under the PHX14 program but I sort of think they need more white light for overall health.
Are your Nems reaching with the SPS AB+ program?
 
Im running under radion g4 pros. The overall health of the nems is amazing. I've got a black widow that doesn't have that deep red that I see with other peoples tanks and I was just wondering if other people have noticed a change in coloration with more blues and less whites in their schedule.
 
Did you end up adjusting your settings @Matthew Marracino ?
I actually switched lights to an AI Prime and run mostly blues with only 10% white or so. Colored up nicely now but cant attribute it 100% to lighting as I also raised nutrient levels a little. Heres how it looks now.

Very nice. How many hours a day do you run your lights?
 
I guess it depends some on what kind of anemones you have. The deep water RFA's color up great under blue leds. I just got a yellow filter and took these with my Galaxy S6 phone. I have Reef Breeders Photon V2 leds and have run full blue. The tiny RFA's in the second photo are babies from about a month ago and the slightly bigger ones in the first photo are babies from about a year ago and nearly 2 years ago.

I agree that it depends on the anemone. BTAs tend to shift colors a lot depending on lighting used. Gigantea and magnifica, not so much.
