Feeling blue: What color lighting fills your tank?
There are many different colors of lighting that reef keepers use for their aquariums ranging from strong blues to a yellowish white. There is a Kelvin color temperature scale that is used to help us put numbers to these colors as well as the light spectrum with frequencies related to different colors of light. As lighting technologies have changed, the ability to choose more specific colors has improved. Some people choose a more “natural” look and other choose a deep blue that highlights the fluorescent colors. Let’s talk about the color of lighting that you have selected for your tank. How blue (or not) have you decided to go and why?
