If I understand it correctly, coals grow slower under the 15K lighting but I like the look of the tank better with the 15K's. Not as harsh white as with the 10k's and the corals look prettier under 15k.

I really like it...does not have the sharp white color. Much easier on eyes. Hope fish and corals like it also.
