Hahnmeister,
I like best the color a 10k gives to a tank, but I dont like the coloration the corals get then. When I had a 13k G-mann, my digitatas were brown. Now with the Phoenix 14k they became bright blue within a few weeks. But on the other hand the Pocillopora lost much of their bright pink color. Do you think I would be able to keep my digitatas blue AND the Pocilloporas bright pink with the use of those 14.5k G-mann (+ 2 T5 pure actinics then)? Even better if at the same time they seam less monochromatic than those Phoenix. While bulbs in the higher spectrum (15-20k) give nice coloration to the corals I think they make the tank look uniform and somewhat dull (personnal taste). It doesn't even reflect the natural aspect of the biotope we reproduce (very shallow waters), right?
