i want to setup a 120 gallon tank want to put black sand black background and some driftwood what color light will look good for the tank and the bichirs i will have

1 6inch albino sen
1 8inch sen
2 7inch ornates
2 7inch endis
1 8 inch delzi
 
t5HO lighting 6000 ish K, that way you could add some nice anubias and java moss to the driftwood.
 
yea that could be nice
 
Well...Polys tend to like subdued lighting. Anubias and Java Ferns don't require high intensity lighting. So, personally, I'd just go with a standard fluorescent lighting fixture.
 
yea cus i was thinking about plants im not a plant guy would purple or blue be nice
 
Agree, I like pink fluorescent tubes. Though I went with T5 as I may do plants in the future.
 
pink would look nice
