Acros under 10k lighting

[Aquadude1]

I am starting to stock a new 20 gallon acro tank. I keep my tanks lighting pretty white, around 10k.

I am trying to narrow down my stocking list and would appreciate photos of acros under white light.

So far I have
Red planet
Tri color val
Green slimer

Aussie gold tort
wwc yellow tips
wwc jello shot
tsa princess peach
Pink Floyd
CB maleficent
ASD Rainbow Milli
PC rainbow
BC Battle stag
AV99 Orange Crush
All look really nice under white lights like that. I don't personally own them, thus I cannot show you pics under daylight but my LFS has a really nice display that is mainly daylight and has all of these. They are a sight to see!

Thanks for the suggestions. I definitely want to get yellow tips and pc rainbow. I've never actually seen jello shot under anything but crazy blue. That would be cool to see if anyone else has a photo

Its red but the polyps really make it since they are fairly well extended most of the time and a bit gold. Its one of my personal favorites

Orange Tort looks fantastic under daylight type settings

WWC Striptease also looks great and is widely available

I don’t have any photos but take a look at the older TOTMs in Reefkeeping magazine. Many of those were halide ran with 10-14k typically

tsm aquatics has one on auction every week. They aren’t expensive.

 

[ChrisfromBrick]

SC orange passion is probably my favorite and will look nice under 10k. But, very expensive.

WWC heartbreaker is a better choice than red planet IME. Solid pink under 10k

Hawkins Echinata and Oregon tort can also be seen on the left and right. Awesome blues.

I second the heartbreaker
