Lighting for Tank Viewing/Photography

[abaldtown]

What Kelvin does everyone think is best for viewing? Whites look more natural and show fish colors better, but some corals really POP with blues. I can’t find a happy medium.

For photos, I like to have the blues up for pop, but add a simple orange filter to my phone camera to make the blend look more natural. For viewing, I generally run about 11-12000K which is bluer than white daylight but not a neon windex water party.

I don't know kelvin, but there's this vid that kinda says ALL THE LIGHT you can get.
