me too.....
he also had it under blue/purple spectrum for year and years with stunning grow to his corals!
when he put a white light on his tank the whole thing was growing purple in coralline algae.
(the white light only stay on for a few days before it was taking offline.)

Question to the guys posting that have first hand knowledge of the good results.

What type of corals other than Zoas are in these tanks? I'm guessing mostly LPS but be more specific if you could. I have considered running all blue on my LED's but have been a little hesitant.

LPS and softies. Haven't tried this with SPS.
