Lighting for 60" x 18" with Tropheus Annectens

Re: Lighting for 60" x 18" with Tropheus Annectens

I promise to post some pics within this week.  I just added more fish to the tank, and then the background got ruined.

But I can post a pic to show how the lights light up the room practically.

I think there is too much Actinic Blue because it makes the heads look purple or something and their defination between the bands diminish.

But for some reason it really makes their yellow standout.

Donald could you send me a picture of the canary cheeks under lighting like this?

This is a JPEG under Auto WB with no touch ups to the picture.  I did a quick cleaning on the glass to remove some of the algae.  ISO 200.  Lights on this tank are 2-36" PCs (one at 6700 and the other at 8800)

I'm updating this since a different background made a lot of difference in the fish.
