Reef Central Online Community - View Single Post - Beyond LED Aesthetics-What spectra corals require

We have a great thread dealing with the aesthetic side of LED lighting. As that thread is to deal only with the visual optic, without clouding the issue with technical spectral requirements of corals and other reef inhabitants, here is a place where we can exchange notes on required spectrum and how to achieve it. I suspect we will have a great deal of cross-over from these threads. (fingers crossed)

Please feel free to post any infos read or personally collected concerning the well being or not of corals, etcetera under various LED fixtures and DIY projects. Here is the original Aesthetics thread
