So last night, well after the tank lights had shut off and all the little polyps had gone to bed, I decided to test out a tiny light I'd made. I was planning on using it in a fuge and needed to see how deep it could penetrate, and what was the spread. The tank I tested it on is an 8" cube, and I think it's safe to say that this is a ridiculously strong little light!
Anyways. I noticed right away that my Dragon Eyes were practically growing under this light, and my neon green candy cane was one of the most vivid greens I had ever seen. There were more surprises when my brand new (not even settled in properly) Green Bay Packers started showing some nice colors too, along with the yellow ricordia they came with. Even some coral that didn't have visible green coloration under normal lights was showing at least some fantastic greens, but I couldn't get pics.
TD;LR: Were the strange intense colors from the reds in the light, or the blues? Is there a downside to having red light leaking into the display? I seriously want to have a tank that can show off these colors, they're so strange and I love them
I wish I could show just how intense these colors were, but alas, my phone camera fails me.
