White LEDs for 3W ones, 10,000K-12,000K
White SolarPod3(I custom made) 30W 10,000K / 15,000K / 20,000K
White SolarPod5(I custom made) 50W 10,000K / 15,000K / 20,000K
Blue LEDs for 3W ones, 460nm /can custom order 410nn, 435nm, 450nm
The "Rice Cooker" 90W long throw for extreme tall tank: Mixture of blue, white and red LEDs in one fixture, no seperate control but can custom order the LED ratio before making. LED beams can be as narrow as 30 degree. I think I have a 60 degree in stock. Will take a pic at night to see how far it projects.

David, your zoo collection is outstanding and they look magnificent under the ThorTek lighting. As you probably know, I've been in touch with David every day now. Things are moving along nicely. Thanks for your input. Any suggestions, please feel free to PM me.

Ha! You mean the ThorTek David, ya? I know this guy well. He offered me a lot of information about their products. He is nice guy!
Zoas being kept in my 50gal tank are quite well on coloration and growth. I like how they look under blue LED light. You will find your corals so amazing under the blue. I have read some articles talking about the influence of lighting spectrum on corals' coloration. Blue light is essentially important to most fluorencent proteins. Fluorencent proteins absorb shorter wavelength light (higher energy: UV, blue, green) and emit longer wavelength light (lower energy: yellow, orange,red). And that is the main reason why we can see those color of corals. Most of corals can absorb blue light and emit lights of different colors. In my personal opinion, I think to provide sufficient blue light is quite important to make corals colorful!
BTW, addition of iodine and dilute honey (yes, those produced by bees) soluion is found to be helpful and efficient on maintaining the color. Sufficient amino acids which are the basic sources to build up a protein canbe found in honey. You can try to add to see if this method works!
Cozer,
Your tanks and pictures are amazing.
I am trying to build a thread with pictures for tanks and corals under LED lighting so that MR members can have an easy reference and comparison. Could you post a few of your pictures in the following thread.

Honey, which is rich in either sugar and amino acids, can be used as carbon source and protein synthesis source. For carbon source, might act as Vodka, should be helpful in removing nitrate and phosphate. As for the protein synthesis source, amino acids are essential compositions of proteins. Since the colors of the corals are lights emitted from the fluorecent proteins in the corals, providing sufficient amino acids should be efficient for the protein synthesis. The more the fluorecent proteins inside the corals, the intenser the color of the corals.
This is suggested and tested by myself. Any question or comment are welcome to discuss here!
