Re: Petrochromis sp. Longola Red Fin

8000k on the Stunner strips and 6500k or so on the three spotlights.

Re: Petrochromis sp. Longola Red Fin

I've also adjusted the white balance on the camera to about 5000k to best match the real color in the tank

I've got actinic and 10k on mine and the blue really pops, but mutes some of the red. I need to get some different bulbs. Mine always seemed to look best under 18000k. I had the 6500k LEDs marineland fixtures and felt like they really lost some blues, but maybe it was just the fixtures

My Stunner strips really pop the blue on the Longolas, happy with them. I had a 14000K MH over my 280 and that was a cool look as well.

These guys are looking very nice! Wishing I had a tv that didn't have a yellow tint now... Throws off the color of any pic I'm looking at especially ones with blue.

Sunny, as usual, your camara work is knocked out. They look great.
