Hi...
I'm upgrading my lighting to power compacts and have the option of
getting several different kelvin rated bulbs. I realize that the
higher the kelvin rating, the cooler the visual of the bulb appears.
I don't like my tank looking yellow with a 5500k bulb...so I want to

it also discourages algae. You might get away with 6700K, but I would
definitely not go above that. (6700K looks quite white, even a little
cold, at least to my eyes. I suspect that 10000K would look
positively awful
on a planted freshwater tank.)

Cheers,

Michi.


Have a look here, it shows the same aquarium under different combinations

of
tubes.
