SPS Color Come Back. How long should it take?

When first adding SPS, I tend to loose colors fairly quickly. Some of them bounce back quicker then others. Assuming that parameters are in check and none of the SPS get less than 240 par and more then 375 par, how long would you expect the colors to bounce back?

Pumps

I'm curious as to what everyone considers the best powerheads/wavemakers. Right now I'm running 2 eFlux 1050's and one eFlux 2100 but I'm just not happy with controllability. I can only set to either pulse or surge and the other is just constant. I've been looking at the MP10's, MP40's or...

Does More Blue LEDs Make SPS Turn Green?

Hello R2R! I have read a number of different forum posts on the subject, but it appears that most of them sort of stopped a long time ago. Do we have definitive evidence (pipe dream?) that LED "over-lighting" (say, almost all blue, very low in nm 500 and over) cause SPS corals to turn green?
