I’ve attached a picture of my settings, I hope this helps! The reasons I want to look at other lights is that my Monte Carlo carpet is having some struggles and I’m not too happy with the colour renditions of the Fluval lights even with the warm light turned down or adjusted, it just seems off to me.

I have also attached a photo of the tank.
