Just put a nan lite in the tank on for 12 hours per day and stop switching it around,its not what lites u use to tan the red to make it red,its how comfortable or stable you make yr red feels at his home.Once the red feels undisturbed the color will improve.:)

Though I play with various kind of fluorescent, & diy quite extensively with T5 HO, I really do not know what to recommends, as everyone here has their own preference. Some prefer red in natural white light, & I love red in pinkish & daylight combination for photography.
We got more choices nowadays with pinkish T5 HO tubes (from cheap Hopar to expensive arcadia plant Pro, & probably many other brands too) coming into lighting scene. I has yet to retrofit a T5 HO pinkish in Nan enclosure, but I think it will look good on red. Probably my next project? It can be fun to play around & move away from conventional bulky T8. U got more light & use less energy with T5 HO. My latest ER pic has Nan at front top, two Arcadia T5 HO plant pro (sponsored by QH :D ), & a T5 HO osram 965 as main lightings & two old T8. And depending on DC setting (I still prefer my sony dc than the canon DSLR), I love coloration like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4.../DSC07493b.jpg |

For gold, the preference will be white light, & the main lighting is T8 for about 8 hours of operation. For reds, the main lighting will be a T5 & a T8, about 16 hours of operation daily. The Nan mostly use for photography. |
