The Colormax WILL produce more vibrant colors, and healthier growth in red plants. On the other hand they can also perpetuate BBA, but this is a non-issue with adequate Co2. They are a good supplement or augmentation to lighting in a planted tank, but only within reason. Like Garlic or Cummin "A Little Goes A Long Way"

The red spectrum is easily overdone. HTH Prof M
