I run two 10k's, one coralife colormax which is a pink/red hue, and one actinic or blue bulb and I'm very happy with that mix.

any light that is higher in one spectrum will be dimmer ive used walmart plant lights that are quite red but look amazing with cichlids.

I am curious...which lights specifically? I ask because I have an older bulb from a 30 gallon kit (8 years old) that is almost purple, but it really makes the cichlid colors pop. Problem is its way to small for my 210 gallon. I would like to find a larger version to supplement my LEDS.

the brand name escapes me they were called plant/aquarium lights any of the cheap lights advertised for plants are good for cichlid colors
