Does it have a blue light option for glo fish? My daughter is looking for a tank for a few glo fish. This says it has 4 color selections, but it doesn't specify what colors.

Yes there is a blue light option, which is not like a black light. I am not sure if it would work with glo fish.

Yes there is a blue light. Blue, red/pink, green, white are the colors I believe. Also there are selections that alternate the colors automatically. If you're looking for cool lighting effects, this is the tank to buy. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the answers, folks. :) I spoke with Tetra, and they said they sell different versions of this tank. The version sold at Walmart has a detachable cube light and filter, so it would be a handy-dandy little plastic cube I could rinse in the sink. It appears this one does not have a detachable light. This one costs less than the Walmart version.

You purchase neon Tetra's from your local pet store for the glow effect. I have to be honest I was not very impressed with this tank - its very dark and only worth having if you like a very dim fish tank for use only at night. I ended up giving mine to a friend - I bought the tank that did not have the "glow" effect, just a regular light - then you can get whatever find of fish you want! Hope that helps.

It would probably be bstter to just swap the position of the white flourescent and the actinic so that the white is tied to the fans and don't run the blue actinic. Also this is very pricey for a goldfish tank a lot of petcos and petsmarts often run specials on tanks for $1 a gallon ... you could get a tank they could grow with and the filters and heater for much cheaper

Probably not bright enough for a reef tank. Marine land makes one that is reef bright though. If you were using it in conjunction with other lights to fill out the color spectrum and add intensity it would work. Other than that I've been pleased with mine, I did have an issue with it, but marine land had a new one to me in under a week.

I was looking at these for my daughter, different brands and shops. The AquaSun kind sold at Petco have modules with 4 white and 2 blue LEDs per module and are changeable; their videos shows a 4 white/2 red LED module for plants. However I haven't found where you can buy the red modules... Probably too new for that yet? If what you have now is still working I would wait and see what comes out by the end of this year. If you have a lot of plants in good shape you DON'T want to risk losing them.

I thought I had added product to the right section but didn't notice until you messaged me. I meant to add product to the lights section not the entire tank. I have the two lights for sale not the aquarium. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding.

Glo fish may not jump out, but other fish will. I know this from personal experience. Perhaps just stick with Betas and glo fish if you do buy this tank.

It is the same style and size. If you were to put both tanks side by side, one of the few differences would be the light. There is a light on both models, but the Glofish model has a light that accents glowfish. Whereas this tank has multiple light options, making it easier to see your fish, but not necessarily, making it glow like a glowfish.

There are two toggle switches on the back of the light. With both off you have a very low amount of blacklight. Just enough for the fish to see you like it was moonlight. One toggle switch turns on the regular light and the other toggle switch turns on the black light.

I found that if you have the dust and dawn mode in the e setting (a bright white sunlight with a rolling cloud cover though various color spectrums) that the light would flash bright when it went to the next color. The fish didn't like it. It seemed as if the light was trying to give the colors it wanted but the timer was cutting the power to the light causing it to flash bright colors when it went I the next color. I've found the dust and dawn mode to work best on one color setting. I leave mine on full spectum. The fish seem to like it and the dust and dawn mode lets them know it's time to wake up and time to settle down. It also reduces the stress on the fish from the light cutting on in one flash motion.

The fish tank takes 4 AA batteries, and the bottom black platform is where the 4 small LED lights are. There is an LED bulb in each corner of the base, and they light up through the water. I would suggest using clear aquarium beads, or light colored, so the light can shine through. I use a light blue, and it looks really pretty. Also, at night, the light reflects off of the ceiling and you can see the fish's shadow swimming around-very cool.

Nope, there is a 3 way switch, one side is moonlight, other side is 'day light', middle is off. We have a 55 gallon and the lights make the tank beautiful.

This one is just white light and blue light. The white lights don't really make the aquarium look like it's under white light, it's a bit yellow.

Glofish website suggests using blue LED lighting, so I assume this fits the bill. However, I can't say for sure if this will work best, for I use it to light my FOWLR tank. Sorry can't help you much. It is a very cheap system (light+power supply), won't set you back at all.

The Glofish version allows the "glowing" effect of the fish in the tank. It has three backgrounds or environments and Glofish is one of them. Although the 15005 5 rounded tank shows the same pictures as the Glofish version, they don't actually offer the Glofish environment. They offer three different kinds of environments and Glofish isn't one. I know it seems confusing because both show the same pictures. All you have to do is read the details in the description and you will see the three different environments each aquarium offers. I hope this helps.

I guess it depends on wat you are doing with the light. If you just want to illuminate the aquarium, the white will do just fine. If you want a moonlight effect, I believe the blue is best or if you need the bluish spectrum for som rason.. If you want maximum color in your fish and for your live plants, then I believe colormax is best.
