I believe they had their picture taken under t5's could be wrong maybe the cherry will chime in here haha

Without a doubt out pics are taken under t5's. Even the shots by my buddy are under T5's with flash and they look amazing.

I expect your LED's are producing a bit of a difference in coloration.

 

[Reef UP]

Think they'll get better with LEDs or loose some of the coloration? Do you know the type of lighting they originally came from?

What bulb combo if you don't mind me asking.

 

[Reef UP]

Hey Ronnie I believe it to be aqua blue special, purple plus, blue plus

 

[CherryCorals]

The guy I got em from had them under metal halides, 12k reeflux to be exact. The fixtures were hanging 2' above the water so par was probably similar to a T5.

In our case we run 16" deep tanks that are 36" wide over which we have 8 bulb T5 fixtures. The tank with the RDPE's there are 5 ATI blue plus and 1 ATI aqua blue special. When taking a photo I add a 15k aqua science to the mix to whiten it up.

I havent had any color change for the two weeks I have had them, they have held color very well.

Since LED's are so different spectrum wise compared to a T5 who knows what will happen long term. Maybe they get better, maybe worse, time will tell.

 

[ronnie]

Good to know they will look like that under T5s.

I run 3 blue +, a purple +, and an aquablue special on my 40B frag tank & 5 blue +, 2 purple +, and an aquablue special on my 120. Should be pretty close!

 

[ronnie]

How is the color after a few days?

Any chance to get some more pics?

 

[reefpeeper]

It looks a little better. It is just hard to capture true color in pic. I will try and get more pics later if light is still on when i get home
