As the subject says, I am trying to figure out what brand/color T5 that will bring out red coloration in Scolymia Corals. I found out accidentally that I am missing this red because it comes out brilliantly when my moon lights are on. Any help would be appreciated. :fun2:

Try a KZ Fiji Purple, or a ATI Pro Color (if you can find one) I am more of a Fiji Purple fan. I have Red Mushrooms, Fire and Ice Zoas, and a Orange Monti and I never realized the color spectrum was missing in the red spectrum until someone suggested I add one of those bulbs to my lineup. Just my two cents.

I'm all for the fiji purple as well. Really makes the orange on my zoas and the red on my blastos pop. Took about a month for the color to show but worth it, IMO.

UVL Actinic White or 75/25 will work too.
