I never have this problem with whiter spectrum bulbs. 20k bulb pics never look as bright or white as they really are (I believe thats the main reason people assume 20k bulbs are too blue and dim without seeing them in person). I've come to assume every tank with 20k bulbs are whiter and brighter than they look in pictures.
Great explanation, thank you!!!!!
