I have a Helios t5 10000k single tube on my tank, my dovii colours are unreal and the water has no real blue tint to it either.

On my Dovii tank I use two 36" PowerGlo's single bulb lightstrips and two 36" Coralife FW T-5 Aqualight Double Strips....but I'm sure there's better lighting systems.

I like aqua-glo bulbs better than power-glo. When I first got my green terror, he was in a 29 with a 2 foot aqua-glo. I upgraded to a 75 and bought a power-glo, because I thought they were the same. They are both 18,000k, but aqua-glos make his colors nicer I think.

that color is nuts. I'd buy a T5 fixture if I had the money...oh well.

Unfortunately my water gets a slight bluish tint when I turn on the T-5 dual strips. One bulb is a natural daylight bulb and the other is a actinic bulb.

I have all three of hagen's lights in their T5HO version. the life glo is 6700K which can give off a green tint but is more of a crisp white light, i like it in my uaru tank. that light looks more like natural sunlight and is alot brighter than the power glo.

I also have a power glo on my rotkeil sev tank. i love that light as it highlights the reds and blues alot. so i would recomend this light for any fish with alot of color to show off.

the marine glo is very blue, but not a dim blue like some actinics i have seen. i dont use mine currently, but you can add it to the life glo to help with the lack of blue in that light.
