One of the most frustrating things about reef keeping is when I get a coral that looks really cool at the fish store just to come home with it and it will be dull. I understand that fish store lights are often exaggerated, but still. The tanks I see on the Internet (which I also know is sometimes exaggerated) look so bright and the corals glow so much.
My tank on the other hand, does not. Like some of the colors I see at the store are completely missing. My most notable example with this is my new bta. There is no nice florescent green base like I saw at the store. I know that the colors aren't completely missing Becuase when I shine direct blue light on it it looks perfect.
I don't like playing with my lighting much, so any suggestions? I specifically want more green, red, and blue to shine bright. That and if possible, with low algae growth. I am still a beginner after all. Light:
UV:100%
V:100%
RY:122%
B:100%
G:12%
DR:13%
ML:0%
CW:10%
