List you favorite 14K / White light SPS

speedstar · Dec 20, 2018

Trying to land on the best presentation for my tanks, Currently run 14K over one and 6.5K and T5 over another.

I really don't care for depths look of the extra blue. So many of todays releases seem to need more of an LED profile to look as pictured, I am looking for some ideas of what to add next.

Currently favorites

Sunset milli
PC rainbow
RR grape juice
cream city pinky
rainbow monti
fox flame
garf bonsai
undata
classic torts
shades of fall
aqua delight

Thanks for any ideas.

Green slimer is cheap, hardy, and glows under any light.

Reefer40b · Dec 20, 2018

Any super blue ones, Fox flame, Tubbs stellata, green slimmer

PC rainbow is one of my personal favorites. You can typically pick up a frag for $30-$40.

As someone not as familiar with SPS can we get some photos?

All of the ones I can think of have been named already. Basically blue, purple and red SPS look better under full spectrum lighting. Orange SPS often look good under any lighting. Greens and yellows really pop under blues but still look good under full spectrum. There are some exceptions to that observation but it I still usually true.

There are a lot of newer ones that don't need blue light, it's mainly just the tenuis that need it.

These look good in white light.

Sexy corals orange passion
BC honeycomb
ASD rainbow milli
Vivid rainbow delight

I went and took some pics under the radions set to 14k. There were no supplemental lighting, so it should be straight 14k.

I find a lot of "high end" stuff still looks great.

ASD Rainbow

JKR Rainbow

JF Home wrecker still has the pink under 14k

And a little frag of the HW

Here is a screen shot of Lightroom where I corrected the temp to also match 14k. Saturation or vibrance is not touched. For some reason taking a pic of the screen made it seem brighter but the pic is the one I posted.
