Im getting ready to start up a frag tank project and what to have a dimmable led fixture for my main lighting

My concern is, will chalices think this is to bright or will they loose their color?

ps. im also putting acros in the tank

Just dim the LED's down till they color up,or put them off to the side.

Acropora are a siple fix,make a rack that is higher up than the chalcies and then place acros there.

Make since?

I don't have a LOT of chalices, but when I switched from my 150W MH + T5 to my LED fixture from Luke my colors did not change at all. Keep em down where you normally would and they'll be just fine.
