Looking for a light that is as close to natural sunlight as possible for a 120g. Currently I have Hygger lights, but they seem to be too blue. Any suggestions?
 
Probably some kind of metal halide lights if u want close to sunlight. Or perhaps a kessil tuna sun for that sunlight shimmering effect

Depends what the "sunlight" goal is. Wide lights high above the tank paired with surface movement lend to a fantastic natural lighting effect.
 
The fluval aquasky does a pretty good job of mimicking sunlight assuming you set all the right parameters.
 
I have taken to using 10w led spot lights (security style ones with outdoor ip rating) on my tanks with “less specific” planting requirements, ie just vallis. Good for 24” deep, great shimmering effect. Cool white so not blue and not too orange. Just need to be mounted sufficiently above but not too far. Two on a jewel 390l corner tank works well. 5369B1E5-2D30-409D-AF96-F255A8A881E6.jpeg
