Best advice I can give you is...... How's the tank look? How are all the corals? Growing? Happy? Then why mess with it?

So the tank seems happy yes but I guess I’m trying to get more “pop” in my colors. But also adding a little more light my corals seem very happy just looking for that added boost in color plus the spread on my current Amazon lights is very bad

I had those before, great lights I recommend it. Between those and your radios you will have 700-800 par on top

Awesome I am also looking for a little increase in Par so that’s great

Don't go nuts trying to get more par if the corals look good. Anyone that has seen my tanks know I run very low par and can pull colors that most can't with high par. These are under 60 par

Wow incredible that’s good to know I’d say my corals are happy but not like your happy!

I’ll look into it since they both are around the same price point

White kind of bar? Color wise
