Hello everyone
I got 180us.gal.reef tank with AI four modules in the 6' length of the tank.I consider the switch to ATI for a combination of 8x60w ATI and KZ.Does anyone have any experience with this. important for me is better colors.I think my tank is too little light.

I am setting up my ATI pm model in the afternoon I will post my results in 2 months on this thread. AI was not for me. But I will admit I have had some nasty alk swings, and may have contributed to the decline in my sps coloring.

I am really excited to see purple lights though. Shimmer will be attained via one reefbrite tube.
I was reading on the Cree site all of the spectrums that can be achieved with a good mixture of whites and blues.

AI lacks varying in the whites and that it does not have a purple or violet color. I think a simple over haul of 5 different temps in color would cover the spectrums to grow more colorful sps.
