Hello. I currently have a 28 gallon tank with an aqueon t8 fluorescent light. It is too bright for my black skirt tetras. Anytime I turn them on they will hide behind my plants but once the light goes out they will come on out and swim. So, in order to see them eat I have to have the aquarium light off with my room light on in order for them to eat while I can still see them some. Well, with this set up I can’t see the food in the tank so I can’t tell if any is left over or not so I am wanting a light that is dimmer for them. I did stack some dvd cases up on the aquarium lid in order to get the light about 6 to 10” higher which helped some but this isn’t a good long term solution. Would the aqueon color max be a better solution or should I get a light that is dimmer than it? Thanks for any help.
