Whites Lights Only. I Dare You ;)

But me thinks your cheating.

@Murr7 always says I lean more towards the white side of my lighting as opposed to blue.

@Robin Haselden and @Somuchflo99, are you both running Kessil's on your tanks? Those whites are looking pretty "cool" and I'm curious, as this could be a cool comparison thread of the "whites" that different manufacturers use. I'm running two original Hydra 26s in my picture, and they are obviously on the warmer side.

Thanks. Cool white combi with uv purple and warm white might be the issue. Maybe my lumia 640xl (windows phone 10) is the culprit?. I don't know

I think a lot of people go overboard with the blues. A blue tint is nice and brings out the colors, but a dark blue looking tank doesn't look natural. Not to mention it disguises a lot of dirt and makes things tougher to see what's going on in the tank. I'm referring to people that don't run any whites at all, or at least it looks that way.

I have to admit, I run my lights pretty blue. Not so much that I can't take a picture with my phone, but far more so than the picture posted here!

I would have to replace a couple bulbs to take an all white pic... I run a t5 setup with 6 blue plus and 2 coral plus in two banks of 4.

Very nice, I like your scape a lot. What do you have attached to your back glass?

I've only had the chance to go snorkeling once, but it was absolutely amazing. Seeing a piece that actually had some color out there made me drool thinking of what it would look like with some more blue in the light. Lol all the drooling made it hard to breathe sometimes

Nah man, that's free food for snails and grazing fish... at least that's what I tell myself

Bonus points for the seasonal backing are you running Kessils as well?

This thread is awesome. Just subbing for a submission later and wanted to show my support.

Here's one with just whites and UV (radions), complete with awful window glare and toddler photobomb [emoji85]
