Plants love 6500k, doesn't matter the wattage... 5000k gets to be more blue,
which I like as do plants.. but 6500k is better IMO....

Huh? Higher color temperatures look more blue, lower color temperatures
look more red.

I've seen many recommendations that planted tanks should be lit using
5000-6000K. Apparently, higher color temperatures encourage algae.

Cheers,

Michi.
