What color LED light is best for fish?

FULL RGB SPECTRUM This is our go-to spectrum and we HIGHLY recommend this spectrum for most freshwater aquariums. Nothing brings out the vivid colors and enhances your tank like a full, rich RGB (Red,Green,Blue) spectrum of light. It not only makes your fish pop in color, it also won’t promote algae growth.

Which Colour light is best for aquarium?

Red, blue and green LEDs are in popular use for standard aquarium lighting since these light temperatures greatly enhance the colors of the objects inside the aquarium. The colors of aquatic plants appear much more rich and vibrant, red fish, shrimp and of course red-leaved stem plants look much flashier.

Does Bluelight stress fish?

No, you should not keep a blue light or any other colored light on in your fish tank through the night. Unless you have nocturnal fish, they depend on light cycles to maintain their sleep cycle. Leaving a light on at night will disturb this cycle and result in sleep-deprived and stressed fish.

How many lumens should a aquarium light be?

That all depends upon which plants you have chosen for your aquarium. If you have chosen nothing but “Easy” plants, 10-20 lumen (0.25 to 0.5 watts) per litre is adequate. For “Medium” plants, we recommend 20-40 lumen (0.5 to 1 watts) per litre, while “Advanced” plants require more than 40 lumens (1 watt) per litre.

Can fish see blue LED light?

Blue light can affect fish reproductive cycles and damage their eyesight, but most fishkeepers have no blue light issues. Blue light is essential if you have live plants in your tank as without it, they will be unable to photosynthesize.
