  • Bulb recommendations - 55gallon

    I have a 55 gallon tank with yellow labs, yellow tail acei, red zebras, Demasoni, red tail sharks. I two 48" T5 HO bulbs in a Coralife fixture (about 1 year old). I have one coralife actinic bulb and one Geiseman Aquablue + bulb. I am looking for an 'ultra white' (nearing blue) look for lighting. Any sugestions or do you think a better bulb combination would better show off fish colors (right now the blue fish don't really pop too much).

    Thanks!

    A lot of people run 10000K bulbs. I had these on a 75 gallon tank with Blue Dolphin Cichlids and I liked it, but it still looked a bit green to me. I have a beamswork led kit now and love it. Really shows off the blues of the fish. Check out a video clip of my tank with the LEDs here.

        Changed out coralife actinic for a Geiseman Actinic Plus and it made a huge difference. Tank is now crisp white /blue hue and all the colors pop. The Geiseman aqua blue plus puts out 10k and 6.5k and the actinic plus really pushed the tank over the top methought coralife was a good brand but no comparison to Geiseman.
