    Question Which light combo looks best

    I just changed the substrate in my 75g planted tank from brown gravel to PFS.
    I use two 10,000k T-5 (108W) bulbs,
    but the white sand makes it look stark and washes out the plant colors. I did have a 10,000K+ 6,700k combo which looked better, but was too "yellow" for my taste.
    Anybody out there have a good recommendation on a good combo that would warm up the plant colors and still keep it bright enough to showcase the fish. If you have a picture or video of it, that would be great since this is a matter of visual preferences

    ....or look at led lighting? I recently changed over to led for my wild tank and the difference in depth and colour is stark imo. a bit more expensive to set up but should last alot longer and level out price wise with tubes.
