New lighting in my tank ! PICS!

[CanadianKeeper]

Ok so I switched up from expensive LEDS to a 4 bulb T8 for fifty bucks... I have 2 daylights, 1 soft light, one 50/50 actinic 10 000k daylight bulb.... Going to get another full or 50/50 actinic bulb to replace the daylight or soft white so it inst so white of light, so it looks a litter deeper !

BUT THE FISH LOOK GREAT ! Can finally see their colours and the 4 ft light inthe 6 ft tank give some dark corners for them to chill in if they want to.

Looks like your losing a lot of your light from the sides. Try putting small strips of tin foil length wise on each side of the light so it all reflects into the tank. I hate when light shines into my eyes with my tanks.

Might I ask what made you switch? I don't want to Intrude I just always thought people switched to LEDS to save money. But it seems you've done the opposite.

Do you have comparison pics of the old setup with the LEDs?

What kind of LED fixture were you using?

Also pics of the pbass !

But yea I have some comparison pictures right here. I wasnt fond of how directional the LEDs were... Also thats just reflection off the glass thats hitting the camera. It doesnt escape much at all.. but yea pbass pics and comparison pics.


ALSO I WILL BE CHANGING THE BULBS TO TWO ACTINIC AND TWO 10000K daylight

So this is not the end ! lol
