Lighting question

I am new to African Cichlids . I have a 125 gallon tank with two (2) 48" flouresent lights, standard type two pin.

What are the best types of tubes to use? I am thinking about Actinic & a 18K tube ?

Thx.

Its fully up to you and what you like... Unless you have live plants that is.

I say standard aqua-glo. It has a nice spectrum.

Thanks for the input , I have no live plants, so light for them is not important.

The cichlids are very young & small right now, I just want the optimum for color on the fish.

I'm new to forums & posting , so please bear with me.

Where do I update my profile ?

whatever bulbs u already have will work , otherwise cheap home depot double pins

I like aqua glow lights for my cichlids.
As far as your profile just click on the profile tab on the top of the page and you can change it all up from there!

im going to be using my dual t5 lights on my cichlid tank 10k and actinic

i dont have fw tank but ive seen my buddy have fun trying to figure out what bulbs to use lol but when they start showing more color, you can play around with diff. light and see what you like the most and what brings out the best colors to you

for fw the cheapest and best is prolly gonna be 6500K in whatever style bulb you need ie t12, t8, or t5

I have an aqua-glo combined with an power glo on all my tanks. They give off an amazing spectrum and your fish and plants really looks healthy and the colors of the fish POP!!!! All my lights are T-8
