Good Light For African Cichlids?


Recommended Posts

I'm planning on setting up a 125 gallon or 120 gallon Male peacock tank and I'm wondering what's a good light to show off there colors really well, not so powerful that it grows lots of algae, has a night blue mode so I can use when introducing new peacocks to the tank and be long enough for a 125 or 120 (72" or 48") 

also what would you do for the tank size 125 or 120?

I have been using the Gen 1 Finnex lights that are on the Aquarium Co-Op website for my Africans (I believe that you commented on my video and may have even sent me a DM). 

As far as tank size, I would recommend a 125 over a 120 for ACs 10/10 times because of the extra 24" of width for swimming space.

Sounds good just one problem, I can’t get finnex lights in Canada 😞
