hello all ,i don't post often maybe you can help. i have a 210 gal reef with halides & vho's. i can't get any coloration with sps other than pink to brown, some yellows. i was told that i need a bulb with a different lighting spectrum to maintain the blues and green s in my newly purchased sps. all of my lps corals have great color. i'm confused since i made the changes to my system by adding halides, ca reactor, new 65 gal sump with refugium, ph monitor. any feedback appreciated. thank you.

What temp bulbs do you have? I always love the look of the 14k bulbs.
