Anyone have any advice on lighting to enhance fish color? My fish look slightly drab in my tank, it does not appear that they are stressed, they are eating like hogs, temp and water parameters are nice. Would any kind of lighting make a difference? Right now I have a generic GE Aqua light for salt/fresh.

Most natives lose some of their color when in the tank. I did an experiment of using a 50/50 bulb or a 10000k bulb. The 10000 actually made their colors come out a lot more. The 50/50 didn't do anything except make everything look kinda blue. However, the 10000 also make the algae come out a lot more....win/lose situation.
