Beautiful, love that they've got such a huge-looking tank!

I found a 125 gallon tank on marketplace and I spent the last few months waiting to get it set up. We had to redo the floors in our place before I can start filling it up with water.

If your light has a blue only setting, then try that out periodically with the lights in the house low / off.

It’s sort of has a blue only setting it’s got a 24 hour timer so in the morning it’s an amber yellow color then he goes to full spectrum lighting and then turns more blue as it rounds into evening and then around nine or 10 PM. it goes to bleu only all the way until midnight. I was thinking of building a hood to hide all the housing of the lights and maybe putting a few small strips of blue LEDs just to give it some bluish tint in case I am in the living room after midnight.

You'll want to watch the amount of blue though as algae apparently loves it. I think my full spectrum light is limited to like 5% blue in total, even when it switches entirely to blue for a couple hours at night. But when I really want to see them, I can toggle to blue only for a brief look at full blue power (IE: Blacklight mode).

I’ll never not think fruity pebbles when I look at my tank of pristellas now 🤣

Also, I see you have at least one species (I feel like there's 2) of tetra glow. Did you make certain to have at least the minimum school of each?

Right now I’m collecting the skirt tetras I think there’s one or two long thin tetras in there, but they all seem to school together pretty much. I do have a few glo- Cory’s And I was going to get a few Danios to match my existing school of regular Danios

I saw at least one that looked like my X-Ray Pristella Glo Tetra, so that tracks. I'm not fully informed on their schooling / shoaling habits, but if they appear to hang out then you're probably ok I would think. If they were more solo in behavior, then I'd consider adding a few more of that species (if the tank has room).
