My DT has been up and running for almost 6 months now. I am running FOWLR for now and probably for about a year or so. I know I will have to make some major lighting changes when I introduce corals. The lighting that came with tank was a daylight fluorescent. I changed out the T8 daylight for a blue by Aqueon. I did this strictly for asthetics to give the tank a softer look so its not so bright.

My question is: When running FOWLER with two OC clowns and a CUC are there any advantages or disadvantages to the blue light?

Thanks!
