Rio 400 Lighting

[Skilldeft]

Hi,
I'm currently having an overhaul of my main tank and wanted to change the lighting, at the moment it has 1 T8 tube and an unmarked yellowy tube. This is making the tank look too bright and has a horrible yellow tint that is making the fish appear dark and dull.

I was thinking of trying to isolate the back tube and and just have the one brighter tube at the front but i think the Rios light fittings might make this difficult. So any ideas or lighting combination are welcome.

P.s what lighting does Fella use? I like how his lighting brings out the colours of the Geos especially, is it marine?

Have a look at this site HERE show some of the different types and colours of lighting, which may suit your tank.

Cheers

There's a video that may be of some use for you on Aquarium at http://www.saltwaterhub.com/Aquarium-Lighting.shtmlI've been finding the site useful.

Depending on how much you want to spend i would go for a new T5 juwel light unit with colour bulbs. I have not seen the colour bulbs in shops only the day and nature. Be warned that if you do go for the juwel unit you will only be able to juwel bulbs in the future as they have made them a specific size so you cant use other manufacturers tubes!
