Lighting a tropheus tank

[Nate Dogg]

I want to light my 6ft 150 tropheus tank with LED lighting, what light should I use I want to use the brand of beamswork but with in that I don't know, I want to get the 6500 light to help with algae growth but I ONLY FEED NLS. I am a little worried about bloat. Or should I just go with one of the cheaper 10,000k lights?

Lights are for us, not the fish. Anything will grow algae. The K temp of the bulb is more critical in showing the colors of the fish than growing algae. What variant are you getting?

The fish are rainbow tropheus and another one that begins with I think C something like cherokee will email the person I got them from to find out

What rainbows? Reds I assume?

Could it be Chaitika?
