LED effect on corals

[Myteemouse]

Here is my common pink chalice with 14K MH lights only

and the second pic is the same chalice with LED 403 nm UV light
NO PHOTOSHOPING done
just the miracle of LED UV lights.

Wow. What type of LED UV are you using?

 

[Kevin8888]

some of the softies/zoas look amazing under the high blues or uv lights. It's awesome the colours you can find with just a small lighting change (but at the same time overdoing it with the UVs/dark blues can harm the corals same as it burns our skin).

 

[Myteemouse]

yes thats why I only have a flash light with UV LED's on in..
seconds on the corals not all night.

By chance can you spare the nanometers on that uv light? I'm also building my own led light and up until now was not sure if I would want to add in some uv light.
