So i'm not really liking the look of my lighting anymore. I have a 210g w/ a 48" dual T5 light fixture. I had a 460nm actinic w/ a 18k bulb and it was just too blue for me. so i switched it up to a 10k and 18k bulbs and now i think its too yellow and i dont like that either.

i really like the lights used for saltwater tanks but i dont have the cash to buy one of those light fixtures. what color options do i have my dual T5 fixture to give the tank some bright light with nice hues? What are you guys running? Care to share some pics?

Here's my 210g when it had the 18k and 460nm actinic:

I have used SunGlo and PowerGlo in the past, but currently all my tanks have GE Plant / Aquarium bulbs in them. I get them at Lowes and they look good to me. I have so many lights to run now the SunGlo/PowerGlo got out of range for me.
