Narrowed it down to either of the Nova Extreme H0 T5 lighting fixtures. Question is the saltwater or freshwater. Each fixture includes two SlimPaq high output T5 lamps: one 10,000K daylight and either one 460nm actinic (sw) or a pink plant growth lamp (fw). This is for my cichlid tank so the plant light will be useless. Is the saltwater version still my best option? Am I picking the right filxture or should I go with something else altogether???

If this was an african cichlid tank, I would go for the saltwater version. if its a south american tank then in my opinion the freshwater one would like more natural.

It's african, prolly should have mentioned that. I was leaning toward the sw lights anyways but your advice is always helpful, thanks!
