Lighting for my 240 cichla tank?

[Hardhead]

I have my 240 tank setup and cycling for my azuls n brokos. Trying to figure out which lighting would look best on this. Was thinking maybe 2 36" marineland double bright led? Or does the led not show the colors as well as other type of lighting?

Anyone? Really want to order some lights today

T5's are really good because the amount of lumens that they let out are extremely high. You can also customize the kelvin if you get a 4+ bulb fixture.. LEDs are nice too but you have to watch with the cheaper models because the spectrum of kelvin isn't there.

Will do. Decide on the t5 lights with 4 bulbs. My azuls n brokos are not in there yet though. Just got some goldfish in there cycling the tank. Cannot wait to get them in there they are really putting on some size already
