DAILY QUESTION: Why is it essential to have a light that mimics natural sunlight and moonlight cycles?

You want to mimic nature. This means sun and moon. Goni spawning....

DAILY QUESTION: What advantages do you see in the Natura iCon’s wide blue spectrum for coral fluorescence?

DAILY QUESTION RESPONSE: The Natura iCon's wide blue spectrum is a significant advantage for coral fluorescence, particularly from a hobbyist's perspective. This spectrum enhances the vividness and intensity of coral colors, making the tank visually stunning and more enjoyable to observe. The blue light specifically excites the fluorescent proteins within corals, causing them to glow in brilliant greens, reds, and other hues. This not only highlights the natural beauty of the corals but also serves as an indicator of their health, helping hobbyists monitor their tank conditions more effectively. Additionally, the spectrum is designed to be energy-efficient while maximizing light penetration, ensuring that even corals placed deeper in the tank receive the benefits of this optimal lighting.

DAILY QUESTION: What advantages do you see in the Natura iCon’s wide blue spectrum for coral fluorescence?

It will increase the number of neon looking tank photos posted lol. I run blues but not enough to make the tank look like a neon sign. I prefer a more natural look.

I always had good success with keeping rbta's and a few of them got huge!!!

DAILY QUESTION: What advantages do you see in the Natura iCon’s wide blue spectrum for coral fluorescence?

The lower the spectrum the more it'll make certain colors pop. It might even bring out some completely new colors that you wouldn't see otherwise.

 

[jsmkmavity]

I prefer to have as much as possible mimic natural settings. Having lights follow natural patterns should help corals grow more natural. I would try to sync the lights to a more southern area since i am in morth idaho. Not many reefs up here!!!

 

[jsmkmavity]

My best tip is dont let budget decide what lights you get if you want to keep corals. Get good quality/quantity lights first then add corals as your budget allows.

 

[jsmkmavity]

I think the wide blue spectrum availability is good to show off coral colors when viewing and photos, but more importantly it can be tuned to give the corals what they need.

The broad spectrum improves both appearance and coral health.

The bluer the light more color in corals, less color In fish.

DAILY QUESTION: What advantages do you see in the Natura iCon’s wide blue spectrum for coral fluorescence?

I am sure the will dramatically improve fluorescence of someone my corals and better spectrum for better colors.

DAILY QUESTION: Why is it essential to have a light that mimics natural sunlight and moonlight cycles?

It’s not. Most reef tanks today tend to be a lot bluer than natural sunlight. Some take it to a very unnatural looking degree and still maintain healthy corals. With good water quality, the coral will give you a wide range of acceptable spectrum. So it’s important to have a light fixture or fixtures that will let you adjust channels and color blend (to get the look you want) while still providing the essential spectrum the corals need.
