To dial-in a "10K white spectrum", simply increase the level of blue light (80%-100%) with bright white (75%-100%), while turning the red and green very low (0%-30%.) It's ideal for enhancing the blue colors found in neons and cardinal tetras, as well as many species of African and South American cichlids. It’s usually has a higher level of blue spectrum light and is very crisp as it mimics clear, clean water. If you are looking to enhance the blue, red, even the shiny silver colors in your fish, this is a perfect color spectrum. (Red plants can reflect red light away and need to absorb more green and blue for anthocyanin production.) 10,000K White TIP for LIVE RED Plants: To enhance red and purple colors in live red plants, increase the Blue and Green wavelengths and dial down the Red. To achieve a warmer 8,000K white color spectrum - adjust your white LEDs to a higher level (80%-100%), Reds at 80%-100%, Green at 75%-100% and turn down the blue spectrum (25% or less). This spectrum is ideal for live planted aquariums as it mimics shallow water conditions and usually produces higher PAR (ppfd) for stronger plant growth. This is a warmer white light that enhances reds, greens, oranges, gold, and yellow colors in many fish, including: swordtails, platies, guppies, goldfish, bettas, discus, tetras with red colors, rainbow sharks, and albino fish. They will grow just fine with really strong colors. TIP: Don't be afraid to grow low and medium level light plants under a full RGB spectrum. If you add white spectrum, just use a little (0%-10%). Simply adjust Red, Green and Blue to the same level (we recommend 100%). It not only makes your fish pop in color, it also won't promote algae growth. Nothing brings out the vivid colors and enhances your tank like a full, rich RGB (Red,Green,Blue) spectrum of light. This is our go-to spectrum and we HIGHLY recommend this spectrum for most freshwater aquariums.
