I currently have the aqueon fluorescent lights, and I find that it makes my tank look yellowish and sometimes cloudy. Which LED lights do you guys use and prefer? BTW, my tank is 6x2x2

Been thinkin about that light too! Not a bad price for the blindness... yup, it's really bright... attendant in lfs plugged it in for me to see, and I guess pevious person forgot to turn it off before unplugging it. So bright it hurt!

i always run a blue bulb along side a regular bulb, that removes any yellow tint.
