What kind of light for octopus tank?

sensei · 01/26/2018, 07:54 PM

I just started an octopus 70g dt.
I have 2 radion ecotech XR15Pro Gen 3 installed over that tank.
these radions have setting for UV, royal blue, blue, cool white, green and hyper red
how should I set up the lights for octopus pleasure and to be able to enjoy seing him??

I have read that they do not see actinic lights

Thanks a lot for your answers
