LED to make colors POP!

[ahiggins]

Hey all,
I currently have an Aquaticlife LED 14K white and 460nm blue. I run both and 100% for 10 hours/day.
It makes the coraline pop and my green hammer but not so much any other colors. Is there any suggestions for what I could add to boost the beautiful colors I have? I have tons of zoas/palys but I never see their amazing colors, just dull versions of them. (nothing chemistry related.)

Set your schedule different if you can. keep what have now, for the reason it works, and when the ramp down starts cut you whites down to 50% and you will really see some color.

But I don't have a ramp up or down....just an auto timer to turn on and off at set points.

What do I need to be able to do that?

I ended up buying a AI prime, love it so far but needs a lot of tweaking yet

I was gonna say, a 406(?)nm stunner strip is real nice if you don't have color mixing capabilities. Was very happy with it until I upgraded the main fixture.

I ended up going with the prime, which is ah mazing! Lol I love how customizable it is.

The 460nm Royal Blue has limited colour pop. The 450nm Royal Blue offers a significant improvement in colour pop based on our observations...This is one reason why Binning is so important.

Adding some Semi 410-420nm will improve looks. You will need at least 6 for every 24"x24"

Funny you say that I just added 410 and 420 to my orphek fixture yesterday

The latest Generation of Semi 410-420 are really underrated. I'm really surprised some fixtures only add a token one or two.

You will really like the look especially if your Royal Blue are <460nm
