Hi bro, does this theory apply to gold, lower K (below 5000) boost goldy towards blue?

maybe so...I like the way u put it...

but on a serious note, the UV in water will be refracted in many angles and the best angle we explored is actually cutting in at 45 degrees but the thing about it is possibility of DE...cos the red will tend to flick around trying to avoid the light...

whereas on the 90 degree perpendicular penetration, light hits on one area in the shortest span and gets bounce off fast too...

I went to C328 just now and saw some 12000K Blue Sky tube from Sera. Bro Kagemaru, should I change my Submerged Ocean Sun 10000K from Zoomed.

not too offence any bro here,wel with my limited knowlege,a normal or most of the glass will filter about 30 to 45% of uv rays,and most plastic mat will cut close to 80%.hopes that im not wrong,and this do help,reason been....in order to cut more uv,chemecal nd to b treated and is not cheap.
