I saw a comment that said the light was very blue. Does it impact the look of the fish?

Yes it brightens the colors of the fish and anything else you have in the tank it's very nice

It doesn't affect the fish, but it makes their natural colors look more dull.

The light bar has a night light mode that emits blue light from 8 LED's. It does impact the look of the fish and other tank items due to is color. The blue light is not overwhelming and gives a nice night light or "moonlight" effect. The regular LED's are a white light.

The light doesn't look blue to me in the normal daylight mode. I think it looks very good.

The light bar has two settings. When the daylight "white" light is on, the blue lights are also on which helps the light spectrum in the tank, but you don't notice the blue lights unless you look directly at the bulbs. The blue color is not noticeable when the white lights are on. You can turn off the white lights and run only the blue lights at night and it is absolutely beautiful.

It would probably make your tank rather blue. I have it in a 20 gallon tank and it is brighter then the blue leds in the hood I have.

If you are referring to the blue spectrum emitted by the light, the answer is yes.

Yes, the LEDs are embedded in clear acrylic. I don't know how big or deep your pond is, but if shallow, blue may work. As a lover of all living things, if you plan to run it 24/7, blue would be better for the fish than clear. However, clear will allow for better visibility from the surface. If the pond is small, I would run it from a timer as fish like dark. Good luck!

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.

No it's perfect! The fish have gotten used to the light. It's not too bright. I have about 17 different fish, 10 shrimp, and a ton of growing plants. You have to be carefull when you first put the fish in. They do get slightly shocked from the light. The only thing I wish this light had was a dimmer. In the mornings I noticed the fish kinda freaked out when it first turned on. I bought a hidden led light from marineland and set that light to turn on before the planted plus. My fish are happy and plants that require moderate to strong light are growing well. It's a beautiful light.

Sorry, but I don't have much experience with glo fish. I do have a couple yellow glo fish that glo very nicely under the blue night light "moon light". I would think you'd want at least the double bright for a tank that big though.

It's a well received light by corals. My corals doing well w it. I will say it's very "white" by today's standards so if you like a bluer look then this light isn't for you. Your Kessil if tuned to spirit 10-12k then it will probably look the same. If it's tuned to like 20k then your tank will look white on the ends. Good luck.

Don't go with the plant+... that's for planted tanks... makes the fish look a little worse... and doesn't give the corals the type of light they need. If your corals are low-light tolerant (mushroom anemones, etc.) or don't require any light whatsoever (such as sun polyps or gorgonians) you'll be fine. The light is so bright (for its size) you MIGHT even get away with large-poly stony corals and any other softies. If, however, your corals require relatively high amounts of light, this light might not be sufficient. Or you might need to put two of them in tandem.

LoL. As an individual who considers the aesthetics of my environment, including my home theater setup, I can appreciate this question. The LED is the standard bright blue. Mine is in a cabinet below few feet below the TV but still visible through glass. I have never had a problem noticing it too frequently and it certainly has never caused an annoyance. I would not be surprised if there was a dinner or a way to turn it off but I honestly have not looked into it. if you are looking at this from a negative standpoint I certainly would not let this weight heavily in your decision. I did my research before getting this and I can't say enough about it. Blows the comparable Monster products out if the water in terms of quality and price. Enjoy

So far I have used the blue and it glows for about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how long you keep them in the sun first. However it only takes a sec in the sun and it will glow. It's bluefish when glowing

It isn't really designed to light up an aquarium, it is only to increase aesthetic appeal by creating pretty blue bubbles. It wont be too big for your aquarium, it would probably look fantastic.

It doesn't appear to be very blue. It seems like the lower brightness settings have very little to no blue, and blue increases a little bit as you raise the brightness settings. I know the blue thats found in computer screens disrupts my sleep, and I haven't found that to be the case when I use this light (even when used as a night light). The higher settings, I've found, do give you energy similar to sunlight...Tried out the alarm this morning, it works like a charm

Honestly, when I looked at it online I didn't notice the fish. Mine is black though.

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.

I would describe it as a white color light. Not really a hint of blue at all in my opinion

The blue LED's emit more Ultra Violet light, that's why the Glofish reflect that "glowy" light. The issue is that blue light, and UV rays are harmful to our (human)eyes.Overall blue light looks nice, but exposure to it is harmful to the biochemical composition of the eyes.
