48" T5 HO 54W bulbs

[Sport507]

I have an Odyssea 48" with 2 antinic and 2 daylight 54W (total 216W) bulbs on my 90cal. tank. The antinic set seems to be ok but when I add the daylight with them it gives a yellow tent to the tank. Can anyone suggest what I might get to replace the daylight bulbs to give it a better more natural look? If necessary what to replace them all with. Please name bulb brand, type/color and where to buy if possible.

Check to see if they're 10,000K bulbs.
10,000K will give off a nice crisp white light.
Also is this a T5 light?

6500K bulbs can look very yellow. Like stringything mentions, 10-12K bulbs will be more of a crisp white color, but if you're not running carbon or its been a long time since you've done a water change, your water could have a yellow tint to it.

It could also be related to the age of the bulbs. I notice a big difference when I replace the two T5 HOs in my fixture about every three months.

I have only had the light about 3 months and it came with the bulbs. Will it say on the bulbs if they are 6500K? I do a 10% water change every 2 weeks.

Yes,it will say on the bulb what color spectrum it is.
