Hey Guys,

We talk about the proper lighting for plants,prevent algae growth etc. all the time, but I have not seen much discussed, the issue of lighting your fish. I think this would be something worth mentioning, especially to us cichlid keepers out there, as we have no plants, and the fish graze the algae. Is there a certain kelvin that brings out the florescence of these beautiful fish?

Thanks-
AC

I use a 50/50 bulb for my mbuna tank. It's 50% white light and 50% blue actinic. It really brings out the blues of the fish and gives everything a nice clean look.
