Twobuck40 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yes actinic light is in the spectrum that does help photsynthesis. yes actinic florescence looks good too. Could you grow with just actinic? I dont know Link to comment
LiQuiD Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Depends on the coral. If it is a deep water coral, most all of the light it is used to getting is in the blue spectrum area. The deeper the bluer, the shallower the yellower. Link to comment

Deimos Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Please don't tell my you're thinking of lighting a tank with only actinic fluoros......dear god, what is this world coming to? OY VEY! Link to comment
AbSoluTc Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Deimos- And why would that be so bad? It is the natural spectrum you see when you go DIVING. Link to comment
