Thanks and will try to post newer photos this weekend.

True Viloets (420nm True Violets) really bring out some intense colors. Especially in the light greens. They also give a good color to the tank.


Reds are good if they are the 660nm
For greens, I dont really recommend them but I do like the 495nm Turquoise which when combined with the 660nm red and 455 royal blue turns all the light to a nice white color and brightens the tank. The turquoise also makes the oranges and reds pop.
