Title: Florescent bulbs
Post by: Mike L on November 23, 2016, 10:13:44 AM
Best bulb temp to use for maximum colour enhancement for cichlids.  Big Al's has some  18k bulbs for sale in the discount bin that are the size I need.  The packages says good for cichlids but I  usually go 50/50. I  have a one bulb fixture.  Ideas please.

18k will bring out the blue (cool) colours in your cichlids.  Any red (warm) colours not so much.
