Today I went to my lps and they have a new lighting fixture that just came in last week. The guy hooked it up and turn it on, it was amazing, all the colors of the corals in his tank showed up. It was beautiful. The light is not metal halide for sure, I forgot the model number, but I believe it was made by aqua medic. The light looks kind of blue, I don't know if it is t5, or vho actinic because my actinic doesn't bring out the colors of my corals like that. I was just wondering how I could change my lighting to something like that. I mean what kind of blubs will bring out the colors of corals.

I just bought new bulbs for my T5 lights and I think you may be talking about pure actinic bulbs...or the new aquablue plus. The aquablue are a white light but with a really blue tinge to it at 15000K. The pure actinics are very purple based. I also bought a midday bulb which is 6000K and actinic plus which is 22000K...I have four different bulbs in there for the full spectrum. The new colors are amazing!
