So what kind of lighting is everyone using on their various Malawi tanks?
I have a 135g and am using two 96W CF bulbs. Both of them are the 50/50 variety, with half the bulb at 6700K daylight and the other half at (420nm?) actinic blue.
It's the first and only bulbs I've used on this tank and also the first time I've flirted with the actinic blue hue.
When I first set it up, I remember thinking it was really weird looking and bugged me out, but obviously, I've gotten used to it, and now can't even imagine what it'd look like without the actinic blue hue mixed in.
Does anyone have pictures of their tank(s) under different lighting spectrums/hues? I'd love to buy them all and try them out, but at $80+ a pair for 36" CF bulbs, it's quite an expensive experiment.
Thanks!
Colin
