DAILY QUESTION: How do you balance the needs of different coral types when setting up your lighting schedule?

I think it is more of coral placement and finding a good in between in how long the duration is. I have never really had any extremely demanding corals (except once and that was accidental. Had I known them what I know now I wouldn’t have gotten it because I didn’t have a light capable of putting out the intensity it needed.

I hope to win the Natura iCon Reef LED Light because the new features, LEDs, and design reflect Orphek's dedication to innovation and reef preservation. As someone already using an Orphek light on my 80-gallon tank, I’m excited about the opportunity to add this advanced technology to my newest setup. Orphek’s commitment to supporting marine biodiversity and working with top researchers truly makes the company and this light stand out to me. This upgrade could significantly enhance my reefing experience and help me create a thriving, sustainable tank environment.

DAILY QUESTION: How do you balance the needs of different coral types when setting up your lighting schedule?

Very hard to do but I balance the needs of different coral types in my lighting schedule by carefully adjusting the PAR levels to match the requirements of each coral. I use my already ORPHEK light to fine-tune the intensity and spectrum, ensuring that higher PAR zones are available for light-loving corals, while lower PAR areas are reserved for LPS and soft corals. That said, it looks like more of a trial and mistake basis where I keep on changing the flow and light until I see that my coral are in their happiest spot. My schedule in terms of timing is scheduled with geographic sun and moon cycle.

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

I love how the Natura iCon’s wide blue spectrum would make my corals pop with vibrant fluorescence. I have it now and it not only enhances their colors but also helps them grow healthier. Been a fan- It’s like bringing a piece of the ocean right into my tank.

DAILY QUESTION: How do you balance the needs of different coral types when setting up your lighting schedule?

Knowing what coral is going where and the amount of light they need. Knowing the light your buying too so you have an idea of the spread and intensity of the light.

DAILY QUESTION: How do you balance aesthetics and functionality when it comes to aquarium lighting?

I very much prefer a whiter look to my lights so I just have to make sure that I use enough blue for the corals to be happy
