I have a light that has a cover over it(i think its florescent) it has one white light bulb(length of tank, and same one is purple and a moonlighting). Moonlights are tiny bulbs like 8 of them. And i want something that will show off theyre colors. can i change the bulb inside. I heard blue is a good one for tanks. i spent like 100$ FOR IT so i dont want to buy a new one but i might if i need to. And why do they have a purple light? why would i need purple?

Depending on the brand, the purple is sometimes that companies actinic. It should really help the colors of your fish pop. I'd say leave it for now and replace the bulbs in the future if you don't like it.
