Discus Lighting

[Jay-93]

Hi, are blue lights suitable for discus? I have two overhead lights and recently replaced one, I'm guessing the other will be going soon so I was just wondering if a blue light could be used. They're popular with marine setups but I'm not so sure about their compatibility with Discus. Any ideas? Thanks.

I think blue would look nice. I am running a 6500 k bulb and a rosette bulb on my discus tank. But i am only running these because i have a planted tank. Just be sure not to go from really bright light to dark light to fast.
