    I got you. I figured it would be subtle. Yeah, I couldn't imagine there being any need for BOTH green and cyan.

    Since adding the reefbreeders fixture to my rapid and adding reds and greens to my rapid, my colors on my coral def pop better. The green inside my blasto and elegance coral is taking off.

    Congrats on the new lights, is NASA gonna rent your lighting system to signal ET?lol

    Not a typo, you want lower range cyan to get the best results, from what I hear. I will be testing their benefit over greens.
