Bulb combination

[Philly33]

I'm using 4 bulbs:

2- 6000k midday
1- 5000k aquaflora
1- 10,000k

What's a good combination front to back? I'm using the 10,000k because I like a slightly whiter look.

I like the red most bulb in the front. It bounces off any red fish toward you better and makes them pop. OS.

 

[Philly33]

Then what would u suggest?

I would put them in this order front to back

Front
6k
5k
10k
6k
Back

jwh- I liked that combo too.

Beautiful. Looks really nice! OS.

Thanks OS, I trimmed a lot due to BBA n algae bloom. New growth should fill all voids. Tank has been clear since Monday. Keeping my fingers crossed until next wc.

So you're getting on top of the BBA? Good! Dang Algae demons trying to get me now also. The rescape and new types of plants has got my light to fert balance temporarily out of kilter. I'm getting some GSA and GDA. It's easy to conquer but takes a few weeks. OS.

Yeah that looks amazing! You can periodically rotate the 5k and 10k

I reversed the 5,000k n 10,000k. I like it much better. I'm just excited that there's no sign of green water yet. 2.5 days til w/c. Fingers are crossed. Pearling in 10 minutes!

Not to worry. The back right corner is planted and will grow into a nice background.

It does have a different look! Gives off a light shadowing look! Still amazing

Anything is better than a sea of green. Lol. Unless it's St Patty's Day.

I just switched to aquaflora x midday x aquaflora x midday. Love it! It helps that my tank is crystal clear. Camera phone doesn't do it justice.

 

[Old Scales]

WTG. Good combination. Looks great. I bet it made your reds really pop. OS.

 

[Philly33]

OMG! It did so much.

I just figured out the HDR option on my iPhone. Wow!
