Hi,
My suggestion about LED's or T5s, I think that LED's are future level of lighting industry and helping to brightness, focusing, green environments and eco-friendly for home and every where.
Thanks

Mean while, I think lighting is the most important feature in a tank. When you are viewing something, how something looks is entirely dependent on the type of lighting that you have. Not just in brightness for clarity reasons. If anyone knows anything of how colors work if you don't have the full balanced spectrum reflecting off of the surface you are viewing you won't see things as they naturally are supposed to be viewed.
I'm not talking about saturated red or blue lighting making things look reddish etc, but a calculated perfect combination of the RGB spectrum.
Research chromatics, and colorimetry
Physical objects have color only because of the light leaving their surface. If the proper color in the light is not present or correct you can make things artificially appear different. Can go both ways better or worse, which is why I love my LED's! Being able to customize spectral output is the shizznit for someone like myself.
" total AV buff here " so a lot of these color things go hand in hand if and when any of you guys have professionally calibrated a display before.
I love me some LEDs'
I've tried all the entrance level systems out there I can think of.
