GroBeam 600 or GrowBeam 1500 with AquaBeam 600 MarineWhite

[machead53]

I have a 75 gal planted fresh water tank with bosemani rainbows, 48” x 18” x 18” deep to substrate. I have a Fluval 2  Plant, Fresh Water light that I want to replace. You recommend The GroBeam 600 set of 2 or AquaBeam 1500. They would be directly put on top of my glass covers. I am concerned about the lights not making the fish coloring pop, which is why I got them. Would 1 GroBeam600 with 1 AquaBeam MarineWhite work? Any suggestions and comments help me. Thanks

I think the GroBeam really shows the natural color of the fish off well. Makes them shimmer if they have it in their scales as well. I've heard a 10K makes more pop...? so the Marine white helps some, because of the blue, but I've never once looked at my fish and thought they didn't look good.

For true coloration, a healthy diet and great water are what make them really color up.

Here's some resources to help more with that.

Also the AquaGro Colour Plus 1500 can really bring out colors, although I am with Devon on the more natural colors of the GroBeam 600 and 1500 Daylight
