Par38 bulb for nano reef

Recommended Posts

I can’t choose between two par 38 bulbs for my nano tank. (12”x12”x13)

Have to pick between 2 par 38 bulbs, they both have 12 leds and are 36watt.
One has 4 cool whites, 4 blues and 4 purple/uv. The other bulb has 8 cool whites and 4 blues.

I want to grow easy soft corals.

On a 12x12, 1 should be enough for soft corals and lps.

 

I would choose a full spectrum bulb. Go with less white diodes.

What colored leds are on a full spectrum bulb? Lets say if its 12 leds, how many of them are whites and blues and/or other?

I'd go full spectrum if you can, or get both try them out and return the one you don't like? 

No my question is that, is either of them sufficient enough for a 10g soft coral tank? If so which one is better for the corals in terms of led wavelengths? Thanks
