Hi, new here. I'm setting up a RES tank and want some underwater lighting for when the UVB bulb is turned off. I've looked all over the internet and can't find a good light that is white or yellow. I've found red, blue and green. I want the subtle look in my tank so those colors are too wild for me. Can someone show me where I can get some underwater lights? Thank you.
I think I read somewhere that turtles prefer to sleep in the dark at night. If the
lighting is for your enjoyment only and you can't find white or yellow underwater
lighting, how about using one outside the tank? Perhaps you can fit one at the side
aiming at the back of the tank?
Just a wild suggestion...

If you can't find underwater lights you could always mount some LED moonlights on the underside of your tank canopy: http://www.marinedepot.com/lighting_moonlight_moon_lunar_lamp_current_usa-ap.html. I have a Current USA aquarium light fixture that has the white LEDs incorporated into it and I love the way they look at night. Much more natural looking than the usual blue LED moon lights.
