"Michi Henning":
Beautiful tanks! So, no algae problems? Common wisdom has it that
too high a color temperature encourages algae growth. So there you
go, so much for common wisdom... :-)

Personally, I still prefer the warmer look of lower color temperatures but,
ultimately, it is a matter of taste and what mood you want to create.

Cheers,

Michi.

Michi,

As I said in the post to BB - those are NOT my tanks.

No algae in Luis's tanks no... The water in his tanks is so clear that
one of the tanks fooled me - I thought Luis was still setting it up
and it had no water, just plants, until I saw the CO2 bubbles raising
to the surface. :-)

I agree - it is a personal preference what bulbs to use. I like
10,000 K a lot but as I mentioned before - some colors do appear
lighter under such light. Some folk like to mix their bulbs so they
get the desired effect.
