Default GF tanning

Can I check with the experienced brothers, if using T5 for indoor tank , how many hours do you need to tan the gf to maintain colour. Assuming taking good quality pellets with colour enhancers

TQ

Does tanning really help to improve the colour of goldfish? Maybe I should give it a try.

not an expert on this matter...but on the ourdoors natural sunlight will do the job...guess for us indoor hobbyist will have to rely on substitute. Artificial lightings...so far, just using a t5 lighting does help for me.

Bought a 4ft PL lightset from a bro here. Looks like my GFs are very uneasy when the light is turned on. Maybe it is too bright, or they are not used to it.
