So I added more spectrum to my leds last month, this is one of the corals who has showed noticable change since doing so. The colors have shifted from simply green to include everything you see. No PS, just raw images from the canon and galaxy phone. Since adding the spectrum the base has errupted with all kinds of stickers that will soon be new branches.

So, what spectrum did you add? ?
It's much easier to show in the graph.The intensity of each peak is accurate. I turned back the blues (shorter peak) a little when adding the other spectrums. I'll go into a lot more depth when it's time to do the review and rightups.

The green line is the spectrum of the AI Sols at the settings I've been using them for years.
The red line is my new spectrum, from left to right the new spikes are;
Violet
Cyan (Green)
Red
Red

Here's a better pic of what color each spike is

Ok, cool. Thanks for that diagram, it does help. So I'm thinking maybe i should incorporate more green and red spectrum into my light fixture. I turned my green and red all the way down to 3% I believe.

yeah it may not hurt. I'm adding a little spectrum evenly across the visable band every couple weeks.

I still have my frag, seems to have started new branches more than vertical growth. My lights have had issues and been repaired twice since this started (lost the Actinic's twice). My Work has been crazy long weeks 70 hour weeks past 2 months. My frag is alive and polyps are out , howsoever the frag took on colors darker than others shown , darker greens and reds. I will try to capture a picture tonight. Missed a water change or two since this started and not been able to change the filter socks as frequent as I normally do do to working 8:30 Am till 2am on work project as lost 2 team members of 5 on the team (on top of 24 x 7 support including weekends) The huge project at work that is taking up all my time is completing on 7/30 so back to normal maintenance routines then.

Sounds like we may work at the same company haha. My team is 24x7 too so I understand the pain.
