Like everyone, I want my corals to have the best coloration possible. I have previously set up to maximize growth but I have noticed that my sps are not coloring in like they should. For example, my ORA purple plasma is more of a white color on the branches. The tips are crazy purple and I want the rest of the coral to color similarly. Polyp extention is excellent on the plasma as well as many other torts and acros. Basically, how should I adjust my lighting to increase color and not loose all my growth. This is how I have my fixture set up now. I will buy about 3 bulbs at a time.
