Light Colors On Frag Tank

[LPS_Blasto]

What spectrum do you use for your frag tank?

Are you using multiple different lights with different colors?

Are you using a single light? What color?

I am currently using a 6 bulb fixture full of 13w T4 Biax bulbs over my 10g tank.

2x 10k
2x Actinic
2x 460

Looks kinda blue. Potential buyers always think my photos are photo shopped. But the colors are nice.

Just kinda wondering what every one else is using for their frag tanks.

Thanks for any input.

hmmmmm, seams y'all run your frag tanks without any lights at all.

post some pics, lets see if they looked photoshopped.

How about somebody just tell me what color lights they are using on their frag tank? :rolleyes:

We grow in a GH...but after dark viewing and photo's (I LOVE this look) are under 6 x 54w TEK fixture's with:

pure actinic
actinic +
pure actinic
aquablue +
actinic +
pure actinic
(all Geissman bulbs)

we have 1 fixture that has a UVL super actinic in place of one of the pure actinic's, and that fixture looks considerably bluer.


You could swap out one of your 10K bulbs with a 6500K...that would "yellow" up the look a little, and you will get higher PAR :)
IMO, it does not look "super blue", but I do have to adjust the white balance on all photo's or they look like windex.
