Best lights??

[Skyeboy]

I have been messing around with trying to find the best lights to show the blues and greens of my bass. I had deep blue 3w led lights on the tank. They made colors look good but were more of a spot light effect and left lots of dead spots in tank. I picked up fluval aquasky liggts on black friday but can say im not really impressed with them no matter the setting. Colors look dull. What are you guys running?

I’m running the fluval 3.0 and love the way my fish look under them. I’m not sure if the aqua sky works with the FluvalSmart app but I use that to adjust the different colors.

Yes it does work with the app. What are your settings?

I love the Finnex 24/7 planted leds, I use them on all of my aquariums fully customizable it uses red blue green and white if I remember correctly they are awesome lights

Yea sounds similar to the aquasky. 6500k plus red blue and green. I just can't seem to find a combo i like that looks natural.

Could be a couple of factors S Skyeboy as tcav88 said could be juvenile stage, but I think if you change the substrate to something darker it would definitely help with the washed out colors.
