Coral fluorescence and LED lights spectrum?
I'm currently setting my 110G and was wondering which led to use as night lights for viewing.
The reason Super Actinic make coral fluorescent is the peak in the near UVA portion. 420nM I remember reading an article a few months ago that was talking about coral fluorescence in the spectrum of 485-650nM and it was emiting back at 500-675nM (color shift). If I was to setup something to bring out colors while leaving the sand/rock dark, would it be better to go with True UVA leds (395nM), Royal Blue (455nM), Blue (470nM), Cyan (505nM), Green (530nM), Yellow (590nM), etc
