That was my initial line of thinking. However, the more I read the more I learn, go figure ..lol
What I have read is lumen output is more important for coral growth, not sustaining live rock. With live rock it is more important to have good flow in order to feed the bacteria growing within the rock. what grows on the outside of the rock is algae and while useful is more for aesthetic appeal. Therefore if I use a combination of the pure white and blue LED's, I should get the visual effect I want plus the blue lights will provide proper spectral lighting for promoting algae growth.
This is all speculative as very few have converted over to this new lighting solely but why not be the sacrificial lamb ..lol
I will post pics once I get the lighting going to mark my progress..
