Just Another Lighting Question

[BigbruiserAl]

Some one said that my tank looks a little yellow lighting wise now i have the OE T5 Rio 300 bulbs. Two Juwel High Lite Day, T5 length 1047mm, 54 watts
Two Juwel High Lite Nature, T5 length 1047mm, 54 watts. looking around due to size cant find cheaper ones so looks like i have to replace from jewls range.

Day T5 9000 Kelvin
Nature T5 4100 Kelvin

would i be right in saying the nature's are giving me the yellow tinge and which should i replace with?

Colour T5 6800 Kelvin
Marine 15000 Kelvin
Blue 20000 Kelvin

They recomend Marine & blue for salt water and Day & nature for fresh but i dont like it ideas please

Nature's are giving you the tinge yes, try covering them and see the difference, I'd replace them with Day tubes if it were me.

Thanks SBS, all the tubes are the same price cant belive i cant buy chepo dam Jewl. As there all the same price any truth in "with a colour temperature of 6800 Kelvin . It intensifies red and blue colours" having congo tetra and bolivans rams woudl be great if true if not another 2 day bulbs, shame i cant see them before i buy

Yes it's true that it will high light certain peaks, but the overall colour will be 'yellower' than the day light tubes.
