New Light bulb..part 2 + some shots of the fish. Need opinions..

[xaznkewlguyx]

Okay so I can't decide on which bulb to keep so I need some opinions from you guys..

I personally like the blue bulb because it makes my tank 2x brighter, but some say that red bulbs bring out the color of the fish. Thats exactly what i want so i went out and picked up a red bulb too.

Do blue bulbs really cause algae growth?


On to the pictures, what do you guys think?


all 4 bulbs white:

3 white and 1 blue:

3 white 1 red:

Some shots of the fish will all white bulbs:

sorry about the blurr, i let my sister borrow my camera and my gf's camera is not too good with the movement of the fish.

nice tank either way....i think with the red it adds more depth and realism

I agree but I like the colour in fish with red light.

Blue light is more likely to cause algae growth then red or white.

I like the red look better.. It seems Brighter...

Don;t necassarily like all the fish under the red light.. But I like brighter

Have you tried red, white, AND blue all at the same time? (2 white, 1 blue, and one red) I think that would make ALL the colors pop!

ahahah i was seriously going to try that but i dont really think it would look nice. maybe i will give it a try when i have some time.

dam! blue is in the lead.. i really like blue too but if its going to promote algae growth then i just cant do it. the tank is next to a window so it gets enough algae already.
