I'm upgrading to a 70W MH 14K sunpaq bulb on wednesdays. I have these dragoneyes that have been browned out. I think they browned out due to the guys MH ballast stopped working so he put them under 96w of PC lights. I was wondering under these lights will they get their color back? My aquapod only has 48w which I think is too lil light.

thanks

The metal halide will help, but it is just as important to be sure to keep a stable environment free of excess nutrients and make sure to maintain good ALK and PH numbers and colors should be at their best.
