Lighting PCs

Hey everyone long time lurker but i'm going to be posting much more now that I'm in love with my zoo's.

I need to know what combo you would use to get the best looks and or growth.

I have 2x96w PC light which are running 10k and atninc but its not doing me justice in the looks department.

Heres my options what would be best for looks and or growth

Hey Clord Welcome to CZ! If you are going to go with growth I would use a whiter light/yellow light which would be 6700 or 10k. If you are looking for both I would run 7100/10k bulb and 7100k bulb. I will give you a big boost of blue which will draw out the colors.
You will get a bunch of opinions depending on the colors of the tank. some people like it blue some like it white. I run the same bulbs on one of my frag tanks and I like the color. I don't have fantastic growth rate but we enjoy the coloration! JMO
By the way::welcome:

Also I have a GBTA but it looks so tan with the combo i have now do you think it would have enough light with this combo 7100/10k bulb and 7100k bulb
