Natura iCon Spectrums in each Channel:

Understanding Coral Fluorescence and Spectral Quality                                                                      

Coral fluorescence is a fascinating process where corals absorb light and re-emit it at a lower energy level. The absorbed light is known as 'excitation,' while the re-emitted light is referred to as 'emission.' This phenomenon is crucial for understanding how corals interact with light, offering valuable insights into the health and environmental conditions of coral reefs.

Channel 1 Lighting Configuration (Sunrise and Sunset Mode): 2 x 590 nm, 2 x 670/740 nm, 9 x 18,000 K LEDs

The fluorescence of coral proteins, when excited by an amber 590nm LED, tends to emit light primarily in the orange and red portions of the spectrum. Here are some examples by species, listed with their excitation and emission wavelengths (in nm):

Acropora digitifera: 570/590 - Montipora monasteriata: 570/610 - Pocillopora damicornis: 570/625 - Porites murrayensis: 570/625 - Discosoma: 573/593 - Anemonia sculata: 574/595 - Acropora horrida: 574/625 - Acropora aspera: 575/625 - Favia favus: 583/593

Regarding photosynthesis, Pigment 700 (P700) in Photosystem I is crucial because it can absorb light at a wavelength of 740nm. Photosystem II acts as the electron donor in this process.

Additionally, there is an 18,000K LED used, providing a crisp, full-spectrum white light, which is beneficial for various applications involving light quality and intensity.

Channel 2 Lighting Configuration (Noon Mode): 7 x 480/470 nm LEDs, 6 x 18,000 K LEDs
