Best lighting combi

[beaver]

Hi Reefers,

Just want some feedback as to what is the best lighting combi to bring out the best colouration in softies and LPS?

i use T5s and have good growth rate with softies like mushrooms and zoas..

thanks but how about the colouration? I am using MH and actinic combi but feels that the colour seems washed out

i think T5s actinics are best for softies.. MH, depending on the colour temp of the bulb, if using 10k den will have that yellowish tint that blends all softies corals into a similar brown colour.. just my point of view from what i've seen.. no guarantee correct one..
