Help, please.

I'm not liking my light bulbs. They way they are placed in my fixture makes my water look cloudy or hazy. I don't know anything about lights, so I just stuck the bulbs in. How would you arrange them?

I have 8 bulbs:

1 fiji purple
1 day light
2 special blue (or something like that)
4 blue actinic

Thank you! (+K)

 

It seems like you need more day light bulbs 10K, might have to much blue.

 

2 Blue Actinic
1 Special Blue
1 Fiji Purple
1 Daylight
1 Special Blue
2 Actinics

Is how I would do it +k To RNO

You need more daylight

 

Sorry Kacey, but I think you overdid it on the blues, however try:
Fiji purple
1 special blue
2 atinic
daylight
2 atinic
1special blue
Anywho, IMO get some more daylights, 3 daylights mixed with 3 atinic your special blue and fiji purple

 

Well I didn't pick out the bulbs. I told the person who picked them out for me that I like the bluer look. Maybe I'll get one more daylight to stick in there.

 

Me personally, Id do

1 Actinic
1 Special Blue
1 Purple
2 Daylights
1 Purple
1 Special Blue
1 Blue actinic

 

okay thanks! I'll jot this down and try the lights in that order.

 

I really do prefer a bluer look. I might get one more daylight bulb to stick in there. It's just the hazyness that bugs me. I'll try moving the bulbs around and giving my glass a good cleaning!

 

Hm One thing to try since you like the bluer look, Run everything back up to the back of the tank, acts - daylights, Thats how I run my tank, I have 2 acts in the front and two daylights in the back.

 

Okay I will try that tonight! I can't do it right now bc I had the lights on and I'll burn my hand off!
