• How to achieve such light?

  • Nancy

Good afternoon. I have a question about which lamps produce a spectrum that is neither blue nor purple, but turquoise. I have 4 T5 lamps of 24 watts each and 1 metal halide lamp of 150 watts to replace.

Tammy

Well, if the aquarium is 1 km wide, then it might be possible.

Travis

And even in the sun...

Karen

This is the result of filtering sunlight through a layer of water with a specific mineral composition. The slightly greenish tint indicates the presence of microorganisms in the water.

Danielle

I think it's true. It all depends on the composition of the water. Although light makes its adjustments, I believe it's more about the water.

Darrell

I understand all of this. The question is which lamps emit turquoise light—I’m not going to install 5 types of halogen lamps and then 5 types of T5 lamps while trying to find this spectrum. Maybe someone knows specifically turquoise—not blue, not purple, and not pink. At least light blue.

ATI Blue Plus or KZ Super Blue...

Brianna

I think the background should be that color. No lamps will make the water turquoise if, for example, the background is brown or black.

Derek

Are you talking about MG or T5? And in what ratio? I need 4 T5 and 1 MG.

Mariah

I also support the background; the lamps won't provide that color, they are just an addition, as you shouldn't use only Blue Plus, as you said there should be a ratio: 1. ATI Blue Plus 2. ATI AquaBlue Special (this one is a must) 3. ATI Actinic

It's funny to match the lighting based on a photoshopped picture.

Andrea

Very simple - with copper sulfate or aquarium salt, lamp >=10000k

Vincent

such a shade creates a certain depth of water (about 10m) I think the background needs to be selected + lamps BLV 14K gives a decent amount of green, possibly 10K as well we need to try...

Mitchell

I won't attach the background anymore. I need to sort out the lamps - I realized that the first in line will be ATI.
