Need Radion G4 Advice

[marlinmon]

I'm running a couple of Radion G4 pros and run a slightly modified template from Eco. I have some acros that are bluish/teal in color and was curious what settings folks are running to really bring out those colors (not for growth but just for viewing).

You got some great lights but colors come to factor more if you talk nutrients.
I always say “if you put lipstick on a pig it’s still a pig”
That said can you post some pics and test results from the last three weeks?

I mean to say these acros are already blue under the lighting in the tank I moved them from. How do I get the blue to show more with these radians. They don't look as blue when I put them under the radions. I'm talking instantaneous, not letting the coral sit there for months

Not entirely about the spectrum when it comes to blues in SPS, have you tested or do you supplement potassium?

I put it under my kessil tuna blue and acro is blue. I take it and put a radion over it and I cannot get it to look the same blue.

No supplement issues. Only that changed is the lighting. I'm not saying the acro has physically changed. I'm saying the light reflecting off it looks different under different lights

What light you moved them from if I may ask?

From Kessil to Radions, radions has a lot more possibilities as you know.
The right answer isn’t that simple, you just have to play with the color spectrum on the radions til you hit the sweet spot that you like your corals to look like.

You can set for the radiant preset and lower the whites at peak manually.
See if this is to your liking.

Start with the AB+ schedule, that’s as blue as the light gets. Which is waaaayy bluer than a Kessil can get.
