I am looking for growth not a color to please our eyes. I will mainly have Zoanthids & softies in my frag tank. Who has the best growth and with Power Compacts......... Color Temp & Brand please.

| Re: Coral Growth In Frag Tanks Yes, the lower k bulbs will provide better growth. Since you're using PC bulbs, I'll assume that you have soft & LPS corals. FYI - If you were to have SPS corals, I'd recommend 10k bulbs for growth since the lower k bulbs cause the corals zooxanthellae's color to shift.
