	Blue Color Aura.
Altpower Fingerling Posts: 29 Kudos: 22 Votes: 10 Registered: 25-Nov-2003	Edited by altpower I was visiting a party last weekend and saw a very beautiful 50 gall. tank. I didn't get a very good look at it but the room was very dark it the tank emitted a blue aura that set a very calm mood in the room. I was wondering what factors play a role in this lovely effect? Are there special light bulbs that might help achieve this effect? My tanks seems to have a more harsh white glow.

It'll be a different look, but still blue and less likely to cause problems.
