Im wondering what types of bulbs you use in your (Cichlid) tanks?
I have 2 bulbs that came with my canopy but they cast a yellowish tinge into the tank.I tried a Marineglo that was in a small canopy by sitting the tiny canopy on top  with the two regular lights and i like the affect so I might swap out one bulb for a proper fitting MarineGlo.
What bulbs do you use...........also interested in backgrounds mine is plain black.

I like the zoo-med 50/50 reef-sun bulbs, nice clean light. A little more expensive but well worth it.

I personally use an Aqua Glo 48"-T10

Fish look great, and really enhances their colours. Not too bad for plants either, I have mostly low light plants in my tank ie: java moss/fern etc...
