Hi

To be honest Blupal isn't ideal as it doesn't let through much light.

Always difficult when a fish loses its beni as to whether it's genetic or down to something environmental with lack of light often blamed. Personally I go down the clear polycarbonate route.

Hi

I tend to use Metal Halide Lights on the indoor tanks and in the pond enclosure when it goes up.
