Hello...
Can any one help me with getting a more natural sun look?
I just don't love that alien blue color. I got 95% soft coral, so don't worry too much about growth ect.

Here are some examples of what I'm looking for.. I know this is HQI / sun lit, but i must be possible to recreate the look a little bit...

That might be difficult, the AI uses cool white LED's, so you would basically have to turn off ALL of the blue channels to get a white that looks even close to daylight.

I would add a t5 retrofit and put a ATI coral+ alongside the leds and turn the blues down until you reach the look you like. Attached are 2 pics of my tank at different levels of blue. I have ai and t5 combo.

This is how my tank looks with sb light on it. Still testing it out and configuring it. This one is a wifi version. Some one let me borrow it for a bit to see how it affects my corals.
