Which light fixture looks better? The right half or the left half of my tank? I'll reveal which side is which after I get opinions.

Hard to tell since the room has a lot of natural light coming in, but I think the led is on the left.

On my tanks, I like Fluor light on the fish coloration, but I love the shimmering water effect of led

i do think the LED is on the LEFT side also since the right side it shows a taller standing light fixture than the left.. I personally thinks it's the individuals personal preference to which one shall he or she chooses.. not from pictures...

The LED is in the left and fluorescent is in the left. I prefer the LED. Partly due to the awesome shimmery effect, but I find that the LED almost makes everything thing look sharper and more defines. Darker shadows and more natural looking color. The flourescent looks a lot softer, and it kinda makes water look hazy to me. And I have crystal clear water. It does make the fish,s color look good but so does the red bulb that I put in my LED fixture. I can also get a blue bulb for my LED which will even further pop my fish' color.

If both the LED and fluorescent are in the left, what is in the right?
