Default Fluorescent tube recomendation!

I want to avoid the bleached look!

I guess daylight is the way to go.

depends on what you want, but no I don't think they provide the ideal
spectrum for your tank, they also make for a very bleached out look as

they
are pure white.

Hello all,

I'm on transiction phase.
I'm going to disassemble my 90L tank so that I can make some

reparations
on
my bedroom floor.

The thing is that when I put it back on I plan to make several
modifications.

Nowadays I have a tnak canopy with 4 18w Osram Biolux tubes, and I

plan
to
change that for 2 30w tubes plus a 18w Biolux in a suspended light
gallery.

I intend to use 1x30W Hagen Aqua-glo + 1x18W Osram Biolux + 1xNot

yet
decided.
And that's my question.
I cannot decide between the:

- Interpet Beauty Light (low lumens,good spectral distribution);

- Sylvania Aquastar (good color temperature, good lumens, not so

good
spectral distribution);

- Arcadia Original Tropical (low color temperature, low lumens, very

good
spectral distribution).

I would be very much appreciative on some advices on any one of

these
tubes...

TIA
