Which beamworks light?

[Skyeboy]

Im looking at getting a beamworks light for my 120. There a bunch of models. Im looking for a bright light that will high light yellows greens blues for my cichla tank. Im thinking hi lumen 6500k?

I have the 10k 1.0 watt . Doesn't do much for color, thinking about trying the 6500 myself

Get the same light I've got...Finnex Planted+ 24/7. I find the "whites" in the Beamswork lights are more yellow than that nice crisp white you're looking for.

10000k and actinic beamswork light should do well

Reds, blues and greens will make the fish's colors pop.

6500k is super yellowish

6500k is super yellowish

That's because it's made to cover the light absorbance spectrum of plants. Even then it doesn't appear that yellow but is definitely noticeable over a tank

I supplement the 6500k on my 180 with the 10000k. Balances out pretty nicely. I use white pool filter sand for substrate and it really made it look yellow with 6500k only.
